From Long to Short

I cut Louisa's hair today. It wasn't just a little trim....it was a total change in length - from long to short. Adrian's been bugging me to cut her hair short and I refuse to do so, until today that is. Louisa's fringe is getting quite long and I just wanted to trim it. But she told me she wanted her hair to be short. I wondered if she knew what she was saying and repeatedly asked her if she'd really want me to cut her hair short...as in like her sister, Lavigne. She said yes. So snip! snip! snip! She got a new bob hairstyle.

I was very reluctant to cut it short because I'd been yearning to have a daughter with long flowing tress. Adrian always wanted her hair to be really short while we were in Singapore as he felt it was too hot for her to have long hair. So when I knew we were coming to UK, I planned for her to grow her hair long. It took more than a year for it to grow this long and I felt a little sad after I cut it. She, on the other hand, seemed very happy. So were Adrian and my sis. I was wondering if one of the reasons for her to want to cut her hair was due to Lavigne pulling her hair these past few days. Oh well, so long as she is happy, I'm happy too. She can always grow it long again. Time to keep the hair accessories.
