A year or so ago I got a phonecall from my mother-in-law and she started off by saying, "it isn't that bad but"....
On that particular day Riley had found a pair of scissors in my mother-in-law's sewing bag and had slipped off an given herself a mullet. It was not a pretty sight for a while.
Today we were all outside playing, Jamey just got home and Riley came in to potty...or so I thought. She had found a pair of scissors in the garage and proceeded to come inside to her room and chop off her bangs and shear a little off of the side of her head as well as give her "my size" doll a great makeover as well. She bebopped back outside only like 5 minutes later and I flipped. I found the scissors, the hair and the pityful looking doll upstairs in her room. I have never laid eyes on that particular pair of scissors in my life. They must be a pair that was in some garage sale boxes from Jamey's mom. (I only own 2 pair and they are beyond out of Riley's scissor obsessed hands.
You have to understand, the reason I am so upset about it is because Riley's hair grows EXTREMELY slow. This "haircut" will be this way for the next 6-8 months. Her birthday pictures a week from Sunday that we take at her party will showcase her work. Eeeekkkkkk!!!!!!
Between Riley cutting her hair and Samuel stating his little independance all day via spitting and hitting all day I think I need a drink or two after they go to bed tonight!!!!
Oh no! But...come on...pics please!
ReplyDeleteI will post some pictures of it tomorrow...oh it looks even "better" after her bath. I will take some pictures before I take her to have it evened up this weekend. I think I can make it look o.k. if I part her hair the opposite way and have a strategically placed hairbow in at all times.
ReplyDeleteOH NO!!!! It's funny how she bebopped back outside like you weren't going to notice.
ReplyDeleteYou know, none of my kids have ever cut their own hair. I did it once as a child and had to get a pixie cut to fix it. (cringe)
That little stinker. I love that she just bebopped back out and didn't think you would notice. I am sure it will be fine and you probably will not even notice one you take her to have it evened out. Or just remember that if it does by some chance look bad in her birthday photos that you have a friend who loves photoshop and we will just give her some hair to fix it :)
