Nova's first haircut

Yes, her first. Yes, she's almost 4! We have always said that we would leave Nova's hair decisions up to Nova...wouldn't cut her hair until she asked to have it cut and would basically let her have free reign with her hair. It's hers, she gets to decide what happens to it.
Well, about three weeks ago she woke up one morning and said to me "Mommy, I want to get my hair cut...to here (pointing to just above her ears)". "Ok" I said, slightly cringing internally...noooo my baby's beautiful long hair! But, I wanted to honour what I had always said to her, so I went along with it. We had a chat about how if you cut your hair and don't like it, you can't stick it back on...you have to wait for it to grow etc etc etc. Next morning the first thing she asked was if she could go for a haircut today. Then she said she changed her mind and she wanted her hair "like Daddy's" (to the shoulders). And away we went...







Isn't it CUTE?! I freaking LOVE it on her. I love how it just flips out at the ends naturally like that and it's so easy to care for. No more fighting about hairbrushing hooraayyyyy!

My mom asked Faeryn if she was getting her hair cut now, and Faeryn replied "Nope...not til I'm four" LMAO!
