Achievements and Hair

First of all, I have to congratulate my granddaughter on her achievements in Tae Kwon Do. She is a blue belt now and will be testing again on March 29 for her next level belt (senior blue, I believe, which carries a black stripe in the middle). She also made the Tiger Team which means that she now carries the red stripe around the edge of her tunic top and wears a patch saying "Tiger Team" . Being on the Tiger Team means that you have been successful in all your levels and are qualified to teach the younger classes. Mallory is teaching the cubs, which is the little guys, since that is the level she wanted. She can also teach the white, yellow, and green belts. I took some pics of her uniform and patches for you to see.

Also notice her hair. Poor thing. Her mom took her in and had her hair chopped off just above her shoulders. Well, the salon did a horrible job of it and it was all uneven so today, she took her to another salon and they did an even worse job! The front is shorter than the back, it's crooked and mom didn't want any length cut off other than to even up the original cut. Needless to say, the salon today took off about 4 inches. I told her I wouldn't have paid for the cut. Next Friday, Mallory is going to a very formal dinner/dance with her Grandpa on Daddy's side. It's a formal banquet and her Grandpa even rented a tux to take her! Mallory is wearing her formal long dress she got for Christmas but now we don't know what we are going to do with her hair since it's so screwed up. All we can do is wait til it grows out, I guess. You can see how short it is in her Tae Kwon Do pics.
