Being a parent...

Sometimes involves doing things that you really don't want to do.

Miss Ella's hair was getting quite long. You may remember my post quite some time ago about her slow growing hair. Now by quite long I mean, it had just reached just below her shoulder. The longest it has ever been.

There were however 3 small problems...

1. She sucked her hair the time. Which is gross. It matts the hair and makes it smelly. Gross.

2. She screamed blue murder when tried to brush it.

3. She wouldn't keep it tied up.

So a number of threats had been made over several months that if she kept it up I would have to chop it off.... She desperately had been wanting long hair like her friend from kindy. You can see where this is going!

There comes a time when a mother needs to follow through on a threat [or in this case several threats]...

:( She said to me during the haircut "I will never ever suck my hair again".

Lesson learnt. Good.

She seems to like it which is a bonus, it is awefully cute!

{don't look too closely, I had to fix it up in the morning after i saw the dodgyness lol}

I guess being a "jack of all trades" comes in handy from time to time ...
