A Punk-Rock, Gender-Bending, Rockstar Haircut Fit For a Ninja

8/15/2014

It was time to get Kate's haircut and we decided to get that old hair out of her way and give her the punk rock, gender bending, haircut our little rock star deserves. Do you like it? Wait, don't answer that, because it doesn't matter. She loves it. That matters. She is happy. That matters. It is far easier to fight bad guys with out all that hair in the way.

Happy at the hairdresser. If you would have told me this one year ago, I would have laughed and laughed and then I would have made you take her for a haircut.

I love it! My bald on one side little girl may need to rock something similar!

Love it! It's very Kate! I look forward to the days when Jazper will happily sit in the barber's chair.

My goodness, she is adorable! And looks so pleased. Still cutting my 3 yr old's hair myself .. hopefully he'll let a hairdresser do it soon. It takes me 2 1/2 hours!

I don't want this to come across the wrong way, it is just that for some reason I was slightly bothered by this post -not that it matters or should matter, but I've been debating whether to say something or not, and so doing it won...
What I read from this post and lil Kate's new haircut was that in order to like superheros, BE a superhero, ninja turtle etc, you gotta be a boy ---or at least gender-bend? I'm absolutely sure that was not your intention at all, but for me it read that way. What's wrong with a long haired 'girly' superhero?
Now, of course I understand if this was done out of convenience, maybe Kate is still not fond of hair brushes or whatnot, but still...just the way you phrased this post gave me pause for a moment.

Of course Kate looks adorable and this is in no way a complain of any sort about her or her new haircut ---I think it's just something about the wording overall of this post perhaps that bothers me. "Gender-bending"? Shouldn't that be one's choice and not one's parents...

All in all what I say doesn't matter, and it's your child and I get that. Perhaps the fact of having a little girl -who's very very girly yet also an eternal lover of Spidey and all things spiderman related, was what made me think so much about this post in particular....She too can be a superhero, as she's told everyday, but all I'm saying is that her hairstyle sure as hell shouldn't matter...

My 0.2 cents.

Hey Em,
Trust me this haircut is very much Kate. She was over the moon happy with it. It's short but not at all a boy's haircut and it very much suits our little rockstar ninja.

I don't find this a boy cut at all. She looks darling! And sometimes Em, it's best we keep our thoughts and opinions to ourselves. I don't think ANY of us have the right to judge how another parent deals with their child. They felt as Kate's parents, that this was the haircut for Kate.

I love the haircut! Not a boy cut at all, but certainly easier to deal with for ninja training I'm sure! Em I too have a girly girl who loves to wear princess dresses and hold little dolls while watching ninja turtles. I am certain that the wording was not to offend. I don't believe that Kate would be or could be made to do anything she doesn't want, I love my girls long hair, but I would definitely cut it if that is what would make her happy.
