The big haircut!

Ella's hair was down to her waist and it was full of static electricity from the dry winter air. She suggested a haircut, and I explained the "Locks of Love" organization. We talked about her Aunt Gina's cancer, and how there are little girls her age who are also losing their hair during treatment.

"Let's do it," she said, and that was that.
We left gymnastics and headed to Cookie Cutters! She walked out with two 9-inch ponytails to send off to a great cause.



We got home and I thought Derek was going to cry. Then he did their baths that night and the 20 minutes it normally took to blow her hair dry...was only 5.

He's a fan!
