In Bangladesh there is a belief that if you go to sleep without drying your hair properly, you will catch a cold. I thought this was a silly superstition until I had my daughter. Unless her hair is 100% dry at bed time, she will wake up with sniffles in the morning. Drying her hair takes FOREVER so I thought I would make it easier to dry her hair by giving her a hair cut. I cut her hair once before and had full confidence that I would be able to cut it nicely this time too. Well, it ended up being much shorter than I wanted =(.

My husband almost cried the first time he saw her shorter hair. Luckily her hair grows fast so hopefully it will be a nice length by her birthday at the end of this month =).
