The Haircutting Incident









So this happened back in January, and I'm just now getting around to posting this.  As of now, Chloe's hair has gotten to a more manageable and graceful state.  Here's what happened:  I was totally engrossed in a book and was SO close to finishing it, when Chloe asked if she could play with my makeup.  With a wave of my hand, I told her "Sure!  Go ahead, just go!" so I could finish.  She came down every few minutes to show me what a beautiful job she had done (she was playing on the landing of the stairs) and then would scurry up to put more on.  After a few times, she came down and said "Mommy!  Look how beeeeeautiful my hair is!!  It's just like on Tinker Bell!"  I look up and gasped in horror..I don't think I exhaled for a full five minutes, I was in such shock.  I couldn't even get mad because I couldn't talk!  She was so happy with herself and kept saying "Don't worry Mommy!  It will grow back!"  She led me by the hand up the stairs to show me what she had done.  It turns out I had left my scissors in my makeup bag!  Bad Mommy moment :(  It was a pretty bad hack job, but luckily she didn't go too short on her bangs and left me something (if very little) to work with.  It took a lot of blending and a part change, but I made it work.  She loves it!
