This morning I am taking Little One to donate her hair for Locks of Love. She has the most beautiful hair, and it is with great sadness that I will do this for her, but with great joy too, for she is thinking of others.
She makes me very proud, and teary eyed.
I will update this afternoon with a pic of her new ‘do. I can’t guarantee I will be legible, since I’ll probably imbibe something with which to ease the hysteria 😉
UPDATE WITHOUT HYSTERIA:
It looks adorable, and she looks so much older now.
I’m not ready for that. I’m going to go drink now. 😉

What a sweet little girl! I totally understand your emotions from the ‘mommy’ perspective.

Sigh…I know you do 🙂

It’s not as bad as it sounds, and it’s for a good cause. I did it for “Wigs for Kids”. Hair grows back. Or at least the back of my hair grows back…
Or maybe it’s just my back hair…?
At any rate, it’s a cool thing to donate hair.

You gave us the idea!! 🙂

‘a wonderful’…. stupid keyboard 🙂 x
July 13th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
The keyboard, or the gin? 😉

July 13th, 2012 at 1:20 PM
Thank you!! 🙂

My eldest has done this all her life. I’m right there with you on how this feels, but it does grow back. The cool thing is that a youngster can see that and act on it. Another reason for hope.
July 13th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
Yes, and already she is ginning up for the next time!

You could always sniff some glue…
July 13th, 2012 at 1:21 PM
I call my glue “Modelo” 😉
July 14th, 2012 at 10:37 AM
And by “Modelo”, you’re referring to those Charlie-Sheen-esque lines on your mirror, right?

My Muse donates hair regularly . . . she grows it to her tail bone, providing a wonderous bounty. It is very rich and thick as – unlike elizabeth “Fauxchahontas” warren – she really IS a member of The Cherokee Nation.
And . . . she has had some CHOICE words to say about Lady Shoveling Bull . . .
July 13th, 2012 at 1:22 PM
HA! I bet she does!!
I bet you are proud of her, too 🙂
July 13th, 2012 at 4:50 PM
A chile to be proud of, for sure. And the cut looks pretty cute.
July 14th, 2012 at 11:09 AM
That must be a burka-cut, ya can’t even see her face. If only Helen Thomas wore her hair like that.
BTW, your Aggie-ly-ness, I let a present for you ober by dere:

Buttercup has donte this twice now. She always feels so good when she does! Great job Llittle One!

I did that about 2 years ago, and am think about doing it again. It takes a while to grow the 12 inches needed. Locks of love is a great organization, and I’m sure Little ones hair will benefit someone who needs it.

She had two very thick braids. The hair stylist was rather impressed 🙂
