Last night as I was getting Sami to sleep, Shaun comes in the room with a funny look on his face and says, "Before you kill her, remember every child has done it at some point..." He had my full attention. Then... he pulls a wad of hair from behind his back... ASHLYN'S HAIR!!!
I pass Sami off to him and run to the back of the house to see the damage for myself. Naturally, she's hiding in my bed under the covers. I look at her and decide it's not as bad as it could have been. I talk to her about how bad it is to cut her own hair, how she's lost her "school scissors" privilege and how I'm very sad she did it. She does not seem remotely concerned. When I asked her why she cut it, she told me it was because she wanted "crazy hair". Yesterday was "crazy hair" day at VBS... She wouldn't let me put it in a weird ponytail or put any temporary color in it, but it was OK for her to CUT IT!!
Like I said, it could have been a lot worse.
Awe, that's not that bad... not nearly as bad as when YOU cut MINE when we were little!! ;)
