Maggie's First Haircut

After 3 years and 10 months, we decided it was time to cut Maggie's hair.  Her hair had multiple layers in it from the starts of growth from her treatment.  We didn't go crazy with her hair, but only cut the bottom layer (this layer started growing after her intense treatment and never fell out again).  It was a bit bittersweet to see it go, but in cutting her hair, a part of us feels like we are saying, "See cancer, we can and have moved on!"

Maggie was not too excited about getting her hair cut until I showed her a video and she saw that the little girl got to ride in a car and get a balloon.  The balloon sold it.  She was afraid though that the scissors would hurt, but as she was leaving the salon, she said, "It didn't hurt after all."  She was quite excited to have her hair cut and ended up calling several people to tell them and show them on skype.  It was a first of many!

She chose the pink car, but next time she wants the pink
airplane.

The length after the cut.  This is also Maggie's
favorite picture because it shows The
Berenstain Bears that she was watching.
