I didn't really cry (not on the outside, at least), but I did feel like a teeny tiny knife was stabbing me in the heart. I sneered at my mother and asked how she could make me do this? It was time, she said, beyond time. I suppose she was right - no one likes a pint sized Crystal Gale - but it really confirms now that my 2-year-old is much closer to a 12-year-old. Aww, hell - she's been acting like she is 12 anyway - might as well get the hair to match!
Ellen did great ... slight reluctance upon entering the Home Depot orange race car (don't blame her), but perfectly compliant after the magic Dum Dum made its appearance from my purse. This is the only sucker she has ever had, and was the only one in the house because it came on Halloween. It was blue raspberry, which then explains why she looks alternately cyanotic or goth in the pictures below.

Walking away from me already ...(you didn't know I was so melodramatic, did you?)
After polling a lot of my friends, we bit the bullet and went to Shear Madness in Olathe. I was quite unprepared for the plastic-toy-filled-nightmare that is their waiting area, but the gal who cut Ellen's hair was really nice.

Somehow in all the excitement, I didn't get a single picture of her head-on. How in the world!
She looks so grown up!!!!!!!!!
We took Robert to Shear Madness this weekend for his first...I nearly dropped to my knees and bawled when they cut off all those blonde locks! (somebody said he looked like Justin Bieber, so I knew it was time!) He doesn't look like a baby anymore! Ellen's new 'do is super sweet! Love it!
