Emily decided she needed a new hairstyle!

EGADS! She got into the scissors. She knows better. I have no less than 15 pairs of scissors around my house at any given time. I have never been a fan of putting things out of a child's reach so they don't get hurt but rather teaching them how to handle things AND not to handle things. I even have my kitchen knives within reach of my children AND always have. So...no these scissors won't be put out of her reach. I won't hide them. She touches them again...she will be in trouble...ROTFLOL. PS...she's never mishandled scissors before. EVER.



So...this picture is right after I caught her. The minute I saw her and she saw ME come into the bathroom...this is the reaction she had. SHE KNEW BETTER. ;-)



Here's a close up shot of the shorter side. I had originally thought it was the longer side but nope, it's the shortest.



I was fairly distraught last night about this. In fact, you might say I was flipping out (not in front of the baby, who got put to bed just after this because that is what we were doing to begin with...it was almost 8:30 p.m. and we were picking books to read to them...or that's what was SUPPOSED to be happening!!!!). Anyway, I rounded out her hair into a cute "bob" and then tucked her in for the night after rocking her for ten minutes or so to calm her down. Man, I love that little one. She's more precious to me than gold (as are ALL of our children). This afternoon, I trimmed a little more to make it even and took some photos...she's beautiful and this does look adorable on her. (I cannot WAIT for it to grow out however) So it's not as bad as it could have been...no scissors to the scalp, no chopped bangs all funkified. The good thing...she got her hair "trimmed" which was needed. The bad....it's a little uneven on the sides, but if I even it up, it won't look right...so we will trim a little in 4-6 weeks and keep doing that until it is even all the way around. OK..I will shut up...LOL
