Yesterday while I was on a short phone call with the neighbor Rachel decided to play "Beauty Shop" and cut her own hair. Doug later said that she came up to him while he was at the computer and said "Look Daddy, look at my hair!" but it just looked like she had just pulled her pony tail out and he didn't realize what had happened... Later as I was walking through the dining room to my desk I found piles of red hair scattered all over the floor... After calling her in and closely examining her hair I saw that it had been, well, honestly, butchered. Poor girl. I immediately burst into tears (okay, blaming the raging pregnancy hormones here) and that made her burst into tears. That was all it took - no spanking needed... I think she was as heartbroken as I was when I explained that her princess hair was gone and that now we would need to get the rest of her hair cut and shaped to try to make it blend with what she had already cut. It doesn't look like she cut that much off, but when you stretch the curls out it was actually very long and she took several inches off of the left side. She also scalped a section of her bangs and took a bit off of the right side as well. You'll notice that she does not look happy in most of the pictures above... and please note that all pairs of scissors have been removed from any art stations or desks and placed where little hands can't reach them.

I feel your pain- Haleigh did the same thing when she was three the day before her pictures were to be taken. She scalped herself, and cut off probably four inches on one of her sides as well. I bawled and called Char just hysterical over it, and she laughed when she got me calmed down enough to tell her what Haleigh had done. We still laugh- I will have to email you a pic of Haleigh's self do.
