It's Her Prerogative

It seems that Mae gets the idea about once a year to get her hair cut. Then, she decides to not get it cut again so it will grow out and be nice and long. She's done this for the last few years. I consider her to be embracing her female-ness. Isn't that what we girls do?

This year is no exception. Last summer, right before school started Mae decided to get her hair cut in a bob style. She had never had it cut that short before and I had my reservations. It turned out so cute, I shouldn't have been so concerned. Then all year she said she didn't want it cut again and that she wanted it to be long enough to reach her bum. Well, she's female and changed her mind. This time she wanted bangs and for the length to be short-short. Again, I had my reservations about something, this time it was about the bangs. But I let her do it anyway.

Today I took Mae to get her hair cut. Here's the before and after:



What do you think? Cute, right?!

Aside from getting the necessary school supplies, I think she's ready for school!

**note: she was going to get her ears pierced too but chickened out. maybe next time!
