Mixed Emotions

This morning...

8 inches of hair... A cutie-po-tu-tie

Rebecca has been in need of a hair cut and has been wanting it cut short like her friend Halley. We are having dinner with Halley tonight and she can't wait to see her!

So, today was the day... She finished her schooling early so we could have a "girl's day out". She wanted a hair cut, lunch, and to go shoe shopping.
She is growing up ever too fast. She is maturing and it makes me want to put a hold on time.

I'm seeing the changes in her style of clothes and hair. She wants to wear perfume every time we go somewhere as well a jewelry. Her choice in activities and what she plays with are maturing as well. She's still a little girl and sheltered in most ways but I can see so much growth to her in the past year.

Her hair cut is one of those "mature" decisions she had. I will miss curling, braiding, and brushing her hair. I did her hair up for Easter and made the comment to another mom at church how I don't know how much longer she'll let me do her hair. Angie's response was a couple more years, I'm sure... Hmmm... That sure didn't last long! At least I have Emily's hair to still play with some. Unfortunately her hair is not curlable (is that a word?).
Memories...
