I am so proud….

of my daughter Rylee.. many of you have seen her images grace this blog time and time again. IF you havent here is a fairly recent portrait of her.

Anyways she has long long hair, she has had a few trims now and then, but nothing substantial to say the least.  Well about a year ago, she was watching a show an TV about a little girl with cancer, and Rylee was really intrigued by the story. She was REALLY amazed that this little girl had no hair.

Fast forward a few months…we are sitting in my salon getting ready to cut Rylee’s hair. she says to me .. “wait mommy…what about the little girl with no hair….” It takes me a minute or two to remember exactly what it was she was talking about…then it donned on me.  SO we took a quick measure, and a quick google, to realized that to donate hair to Locks of Love she needed her hair to be at least 10 inches long. If anyone knows of a GOOD canadian society, I would love to hear from you.. kinda like to keep the hair up here..if I can!

so SHE made the choice to wait.. a year and 3 months later…October 30th, 2008 My daughter, my 5 years and 3 months old daughter, achieved her goal.  I am so very proud of her… in SO many ways… I love her dearly?, I can only pray that she will continue to grow to be a kind a giving soul.

here we are…waiting for our turn!

I think I am about to hyper ventilate at this stage…Rylee is calm and cool, like she Knows what she is doing!

one snip…

then two..and its done..

and here is the goods…14 1/2 inches of beautiful brown hair..that my daughter has lovingly cared for over the past 5 years of her life!

a quick flat iron..and we are DONE! SHe is looking a bit sad here, but she wasnt in the LEAST!

so here is my snow white…in all her glory…HUGE thanx to Tracy for being gentle on mommy when the first “snip” went. and also to Gramma…for making Rylee her stunning costume!

From the hall family to yours, I wish everyone a super happy and SAFE halloween!
