Chop chop and first day of school

It was time. I was tired of my neighbors assuming I was an abusive parent every time I tried to brush Dorothy's hair. It needed to go.

The final pictures.


I took this picture on the way to get it cut-- this is how I'll remember Dorothy this summer-- running around with her curls bouncing.

Getting it cut. We have a friend in our apartment complex who has a whole set up in her apartment. It's great.

Ta Da! There was some serious bribery involved in this. Right after, we went out to ice cream and took her to the "toy store" where she could get any toy she wanted. Toy store= Goodwill. Evil laugh! (mua ha ha!) She doesn't know the difference yet.

Next up-- preschool. A bunch of my friends and I are doing a preschool co-op twice a week.
She needed a back pack of course.

And since she's going to school, she had to wear her "daddy's school shirt" as it's lovingly called.

She was a little excited.

Annnnnnnnd.... cookies and milk when she got home! Woo hoo!

My mom told me about Dorothy's haircut and so I have been excited to see it and oh my goodness, seriously the cutest thing! That girl could shave her head and still look cute though. I LOVE IT! Now, I just wish I could see it in person

I love her haircut. I've always wanted to have a cut like that, but don't really have the hair for it. Dorothy makes the cutest smiley faces too.
