elise gets a haircut

elise has been asking for months for a haircut. a short haircut. and we've held off...until now. this morning we cut elise's hair, maybe 6 inches shorter. and she absolutely loves it! i mean loves it. the first wave around her hair, it was already almost to her shoulders. i quickly realized i shouldn't have positioned her in front of the mirror because she went crazy over it. she was flipping her hair around and running her hands through it and all kinds of stuff. she thinks its great. and i think its cute too. cory, who was the most hesitant about the haircut, especially liked it. she looks more grown up, but that's what she's doing a lot of these days--growing up. i was quite proud of myself on the job i did, seeing as how i'm not an official stylist. quite the successful morning, i would say!
