Did I Shave My Legs For This?

No!  I shaved Jaylin's!!!!!  Yesterday I helped usher my daughter into the world of girliness.  I've been thinking about this for some time....I know that she is only 9....9!!!!  My reasons were good ones:

1.  She is her Father's child - i.e. very, very hairy!!!  Her legs looked like his...seriously.  I've never seen so much hair on a little girl.

2.  She is going to be a 5th grader....and even though she is only nine she has been concerned about this for about a year. I know I should tell her to ignore what other girls say, but I get not wanting to have hair like Chewbacca...I get it and I know that it would make Jaylin happy. 

3.   She is her Father's child - i.e. very, very hairy!!! 

So I shaved Jaylin's legs...it took about 10 minutes, I only shaved up to the knee.  She was super excited and kept giggling and I was having a mother moment...thinking that my little girl was growing up!  Well, that and now I have two sets of legs to shave!  I can only imagine what the next few years are going to be like.  I guess I'd better suck it up and enjoy the ride!

Awww, your baby is growing up! What a milestone! I bet she is so excited!

I used to steal my older sister's razor to shave. I'm sure my Mom knew- my legs weren't hairy anymore and I had knicks all over my legs- but she had mercy on her monkey-like daughter and she pretended not to notice.
