Is it time for the first haircut?

I've been away, so it wasn't until I saw this picture that I realized we might need to take action.  Or maybe we're nearing the tipping point, when Elsie's bangs have grown long enough to be put back into some kind of ponytail.  Right now we usually put it into a little topknot, which is pretty cute, but it often comes out and leaves her looking like this.  

 

 

Elsie loves this tunnel.  She and her cousin like to get in there and pull at eachother's hair.

If it were me, I wouldn't cut it just yet.  If she will wear a clip, or small elastic band I think that would be your best bet.  

Then again, my oldest will be 3 in March and she still hasn't had a hair cut.  Her hair is super curly though.

Just cut the darn thing off so she can see.  Stop being so precious.

Arthur,

I cut Elsie's hair into a bowl cut because I couldn't stand it any more.  One day you will see her and realize I did it in everyone's best interest.

Stay cool out there,

Pete

Arthur, where are you?  We miss your blogging, and we want to see photos of Elsie's (not-so-new) haircut!

Yes, I agree.  Don't want to see my nice little grand child in that unbecoming picture ONE MORE TIME.  Please return Arthur and tell us another story.
