OH YES SHE DID!!!
We are always telling Mattea what beautiful hair she has. It's getting very long, so we talked to her about getting it cut and donating it to Locks of Love. Well, she decided it was time (last night at bedtime!!!) to cut her hair for the sick little girl that needs it. One problem... SHE decided to be the stylist!!!
I was in awe as I assessed the damage. She cut bangs, but I was so thankful that she hadn't cut them to the scalp. She had taken a few chunks out of the sides, but again, it was salvageable. Josh told her "Mattea, you should be a hair cutter when you grow up, but you should get better at it first." I had to laugh!!!
This morning when Mattea came downstairs, I was sure she would have forgotten about the incident. Her first words to me were "Mommy, my hair didn't grow back last night while I was sleeping." Oh boy...
So, today, we took a trip to Lollilocks where I pleaded with the hair stylist to fix up my pretty girl. She did a great job. Mattea (and the rest of us) are getting used to her new look. I guess that sick little girl will have to wait awhile for Mattea's donation. Thank goodness her hair grows fast!!!

O my goodness... I cannot believe how different Mattea looks with her new haircut... but I think it is because it is mostly pulled back and held by barrettes! What a story... she must have been really moved about your story of the poor little sick girl to go ahead and cut her hair by herself. And Joshie's response is hilarious... what a brother! Keep the stories coming... they are the highlight of my days... Love, Mom
