Holiday Concert

Last night we went to the Holiday concert at school to see Kate play trumpet as part of the 6th grade concert. She looked sensational. She was wearing a wonderful dress and had just had her hair cut! I've always tried to tell her that it looks elegant, stylish or makes her look older. Anything other than the dreaded "You look so cute, sweetheart." But according to Kate, all her friends think she looks better with long hair. I'm sure I'll live through this period with her hair hanging down her back limply or looking like a failed Farrah Fawcett Majors. But why do I have to?
