How Did This Happen?

LG is growing up. She is no longer my chubby lil baby that would get in my bed at 6:30 a.m. and go back to sleep with me until well past 8 a.m. Nope, now she is up at 6 for the day and plays school in her room or read quietly until we get up around 6:45p.m. She has her own opinions, Lord does she have opinions!!!! She is still the sunshine in my day even when I want to sell her on eBay because she is being so naughty.

It seems that 4 years old thrive on peer pressure so when LG's friend Taylor got a haircut recently, LG wanted one too. I was more than excited because I haven't cut her hair in over 2 years and it was time. It has seen 2 summers of living in pool, sun and whatever else.

We headed to the cutest place in Palo Alto. If it is your kids first time I would recommend it for sure. I probably won't go back because it is pricey ($23) and I have heard of some other places that are less expensive and just as good. The girl was great and we decided to take about 2 inches off and put some layers in her hair to help with her curls. You'll see in the photo that it ended up being more than 2 inches and at first I wanted to cry BUT she loves it and now I do too. She looks so much older but I guess I have to face that she is no longer my chubby baby!

LG has gone from this chubby, lil bit of sunshine:
