Rapunzel

Elle forever now has been growing her hair out, "like Rapunzel". Any time she wouldn't let me do it I would tell her we would have to cut it if she couldn't take care of it. She would always let me do it. The other night in the bath she started crying telling me that she didn't want me to wash her hair. I told her that if she didn't wash her hair we would have to cut it. She got a huge grin on her face and thought that was a great idea. She couldn't wash her hair quick enough to get it cut.
The first big clump I thought she would cry but instead she started in "Oh how fancy. How stylish!". And for the rest of the hair cut told me how no one would recognize her and how her friends would ask her who she was and she would tell them Elle but they wouldn't believe her but they would than start playing with her (and on and on and on). It has been over a week now and I still catch her looking in a mirror, oven, window, or anything that reflects with a smile on her face, checking out her new do.
I know you can't see the hair cut in the picture but she was posing to show off her new do so I thought it appropriate.
