Locks of Love




Before picture

Today was the big day - Lauren went in to get 10 inches cut off her hair to donate to Locks of Love. We thought it would be a great way to teach her about giving to those who don't have as much as we do. So, a couple of months ago, I took her onto their website to show her the pictures of little girls who had no hair. After seeing the pictures, she was determined to do it. And, even though she was scared of going to the hairdresser's, she was excited about sharing her hair with a little girl who had none.

So, at 10:30am today, we took her in to a salon near us that was having a Locks of Love donating event. Lauren did so well - she sat very still and was smiling the whole time.

She had more than enough hair to give and everyone kept commenting on how beautiful it was.

We promised her that if she didn't cry or scream, she could get an ice cream afterwards. She definitely earned it and she loves her new haircut...it will be so much better in this heat. Needless to say, we were very proud of her and we know that she will make someone very happy with all that hair! :)

"If she didn't cry or scream" LOL!

Lauren looks very cute with her new look!! I had no idea her hair was that long.

Kim are you going to do it? I think I might grow mine out and do it again. So much fun.
