To cut, or not to cut (and how much?)

I'm thinking about cutting Leonora's hair. It's a little past her shoulders right now and is constantly in her face. Even when I put it up, some strand always seems to find it's way to her mouth. She is always pushing it back, just to have it fall in her eyes again. It's always getting tangled or getting food in it and seems to attract lint for some reason. I'm seriously considering a major chop. But I thought I'd get other opinions before taking such drastic measures.

So, I could cut it like I did last time:


But I was thinking about this type of a look:


Or, I could leave it like it is (this is what it looks like today-after brushing):
What do you think? I'm adding a poll in the right hand column, but comments are also welcome!

She really needs a cut for sure. Wow lots of split ends and break offs. I would do a bob like the picture, but that isn't really anything different than I have said previously. *grin* Her face is still a little too babyish to pull off long hair. I would take her into a salon (not great clips or some quick place like that, because around here they actually charge more for a cut that a salon. Don't ask me why, I just know from experience.) and show them what they want. Also ask for a dry cut to make sure the texture of her hair stays true no matter if it is wet or dry. (Aiyana's is very tempermental, and it looks like Laina's is going to be about the same)Hope this helps.

Thats how long Elora's hair is too. Its always in her face no matter what, but I don't want to cut it till she's older. If Leonora's hair grows fast, you could go for the really short one.
