I knew it was coming.
Daughter has talked about it.
Husband and I have had to remind her quite a few times in the last few weeks that Mommy is the only one who cuts hair and scissors are just for paper.
still, I/we knew it was coming.
Today.
And there is no one to blame but myself. I have her safety scissors out on the office desk because that's where I have my practice yarn for learning new crochet stitches while watching youtube. Laziness. I should have put them out of reach.

Daughter announced, "Mommy, my hair on de floor. I did it ALL BY MYSELF."
fabulous.
See that little chunk in the front of her bangs? That's it. It could have been much worse.
I asked her why she cut her own hair: "I don't know."
I reminded her that only Mommy cuts hair. "I know dat"
I asked her what she is allowed to cut: "I only cut paper."
I wish.
Ahh, the joys of growing up. I hope you are archiving your blog somewhere! These will be such wonderful stories to read/share in the years to come....I'm thinking you'll need to pull this one out for a future boyfriend. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the club! You may have a few more of these haircuts in your future. Watch baby brother because his hair will be so tempting.
ReplyDeleteI got my first real spanking for cutting my own hair. Mom says it was because I lied about it, but I know the truth. I'm glad she stopped with just a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI think I cut my own hair too, and seem to remember your husband trying to. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI think every kid goes through that. :)
Oh man, I held my breath on this post! lol! You're right, it could have been a lot worse.
ReplyDeleteShe wants to be like mommy. Find a garage sale doll and let her have a go at it and get it out of her system. And then show us the picture of how it could have "how bad it could have really been."
