Peer Pressure At Five!

I noticed when Emmy started going to school that she would come home and tell me that so and so had this or that and could she have this or that. It was the first time Emmy took notice of other people and what they were wearing or doing. And....so it begins...peer pressure. Emmy wears lipstick to school everyday because every other girl in her class does and therefore, so does Lydia. The list goes on and on, but the latest is hair and earrings. There is a little girl who goes to our church who is also in Emmy's class at school. This particularly cute little girl has short hair that is stacked in the back and short in the front as well as earrings. Well, Emmy has been begging me for weeks now to get her hair cut like the little girl and get earrings. Emmy and Lydia have both got their hair cut, and after going to church on Wednesday, we came to church on Sunday to see yet another little girl in the church now has her hair like the rest of them. It has become such a joke in our church that when Jim used it in a sermon illustration on Sunday, the crowd went wild. Anyway, this is what the finished product looks like. Earrings are still on the "to do" list.

Oh I think that the haircut is really cute! JM got her haircut short back in feb., but that was b/c i made her! but she is growing back out for her dance recital in june. but it is such an easy haircut! and that stinks about the peer pressure. there is a little of it with jm but it hasn't gotten bad yet...thank goodness!

Thanks, we get their hair cut every summer anyway, but this year is the shortest it's ever been. It is nice and easy and I hope it stays that way.
