Well my friends, it was time.
Time for Sophie to get her first major haircut. After nearly four years, it was time to trim Rapunzel’s golden curly locks for a cute summer cut (so what if summer’s nearly over).
So I called in Auntie Kayli, the haircut guru. Kayli is my “baby” sister, ten years younger than me. She is a true independent free-spirit. She’s a “board-certified” hair stylist; earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology; owns her own dog-sitting business; has a tattoo of Snoopy on her wrist; and her pet is a rabbit named Sampson. So who better than to give Sophie her inaugural haircut than cool Auntie Kayli?
Here’s the before picture, with Sophie looking a bit nervous.
Look at that beautiful hair! I think I was more upset about cutting it than Sophie was. She was just shy of the “Locks for Love” 10-inch minimum. Otherwise I would have donated the mane.
There it goes…
The results … a cute summer style with freshly-cut bangs that are now out of her face. 
Personally, I LOVE it! And more importantly, the little Coppertone Kid loves it too. She looks like such an older kid now! She was so excited to show of her new hair-do to her preschool teachers and friends. My little Sophie is growing up!
