Hair today, gone tomorrow

When I was a little girl my parents had a beautiful handmade quilt on their bed that had been a wedding present. I cut a huge hole right in the middle of it! I was thinking of my mother's words, "you'll have a daughter just like you," when I saw Ruby yesterday morning.





 Ruby has had bangs since she was Violet's age. We have been trying to grow them out. Ruby does not like me to style her hair, so the in-between stage was really difficult. Her bangs were finally getting somewhere...dangling just below her nose. Yesterday, she decided she did not want bangs anymore and cut them off!






I took her today to the salon to get her hair cut by a professional. The stylist did her best to blend Ruby's short bangs with layers, but the only thing to do is wait for it to grow. I guess the best thing will be to buy more headbands with really big flowers.




I am especially annoyed because school pictures are on Monday and in two weeks we will be taking family pictures for Scott's sister's wedding.
