Sophie loves to wear her hair long. It seems impossible to persuade her to get a haircut. It gets so hot here in Oklahoma in summer. They go swimming, they go roller skating, riding on scooters... Sometimes they end up taking more than one shower in a day. It would make the job so much easier if the hair could be shorter.
"Sophie, do you want to have your hair cut, just a little bit short? It will grow back before you know it."
"No! I have to put it into a bun!"
But Laura had her hair cut a few days ago. You know the rest of the story. "Mom, I want to have my hair cut short, just like Laura!"
She DID have her hair cut (by Mom), and it's not like Laura's, and it's not just a little bit short. It's SO much shorter! That's usually what happens when I tried to even out the hair on both sides. This side needs to be shorter... oh, this side seems a little bit longer... I think I just need to take one more centimeter from this side until ... and they still don't look right!
Later on, Laura, who's witnessed the whole process, said to me, "Mom, now I know what happened to my hair when I was little. Poor Sophie!"
But poor Sophie was as happy as she could be for the rest of the day.
Send them over! Sophie loves her new hair too. She even trimmed the doll hair herself.

Good job, Yan! Sophie looks so cute in her new hair style. I like it very much. Interestingly, Helen got her first haircut this weekend also. Should send you some pictures.
