Today M had another milestone! For me it was an extra bittersweet one. Like daddy I loved her long hair and the cute little ringlets she had, but it was so long every morning was becoming a struggle trying to get it brushed. The ends were just knotting up really bad, so I know deep down we had to get it cut at lest a few inches to get it manageable again. But unlike daddy, there was an extra bitter sweetness for me. See, my mom cut my hair(I'm sure even did my first hair cut though I'm not 100%), up until about 9 months before she passed away. At that point she was just to sick to do it anymore so I went to a family friend who was the only person I truly trust to cut my hair(though since moving so far I've had to let others do it never really has happy as if it was her). As a child I always dreamed that she would give my kids their first hair cuts, but of course that dream has died. And with both N and M I wanted to have our family friend do it, but the kids hair always seems to get unmanageable before we are able to make it back to Chicago. I think it's God telling me it's ok to let go and trust others, even if it is scary...but anyways, back to today! For the last month I've been saying I have to cut M's hair, but 1)I wanted daddy there for the special occasion, and 2)the whole bitter sweetness was getting to me. We decided to try this hair place that we've seen in the mall they have cute little cars for the kids to sit in and they can watch TV's, it's really cute.
