The Haircut
After four years and two months, I finally decided that it was time for Emma to get a haircut. After all, her hair was down to her waist and brushing it out after bath time was a nightmare--to say the least. With Pre-K starting, I could imagine her hair tangled in playground equipment or decorated with globs of peanut butter.
So, we loaded up on Sunday afternoon and made a family event out of it.
This is how it went:
She was NOT HAPPY--but we survived. She got a lollipop and her hair looks much healthier.
About ten minutes later, as we were driving to a family birthday party, I felt it coming--a wave of emotion that I couldn't hold back--the tears came. Things are changing. My baby is growing up. She is starting Pre-K. Her baby hair is gone. Crazy, huh?
I guess there's two things for me to remember:
1.) Enjoy my kids everyday
2.) There is one thing that never changes: "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal." Isaiah 26:4

Amy,
I know that tomorrow will be a difficult day. I can barely imagine the feelings that you must be having. She has been by your side for the past four years. Just remember, that she will always love you more than anything in this world (High School Musical is a close second). You will always be her Mommy. I love you and I am proud of the mother that you have become to our girls.
Love,
Me
