There is a FIRST for everything!!!!!

*

I wish I could say that this "First" was an exciting one, but it was exactly the opposite. We started off this morning with a yummy breakfast of "chocolate oatmeal"/malt-o-meal and a play date with our friend Sloan. These two girls play incredibly well together and I have little worries when they are together.

They were dolled up as Hannah Montana and Belle and were furiously taking their "Bolt's" dog for a walk. So I was not concerned when they disappeared upstairs for a while and sat down to listen to conference. About 15 min. later I walked upstairs to change the laundry and check in on the girls. That is when I poked my head into the bathroom and found the two of them sporting numerous baby bows and headbands. As I stepped a little further in I noticed some scissors and lots of fine blond hair. Followed by some dark strands.

I instinctively scoured the bathroom for the barbie doll that just got a bob hairdo and found no sign of her As I slowly became aware of what had actually occurred and started to peel off the head bands and bows, I found that Kenedy was the one who went from a bob haircut to a pixie.

I truly thought to myself I have safely made it past the point in her life where there is constant worry in the cutting of one's hair. She is almost four years old and she knew very well there are only a select few aloud to hold scissors to her hair (Mom not included).

As I frantically call Garrett to quickly vent before I freaked out, he simply said

" It happens to everyone, just take a picture".
So as a mother am I just overreacting? I thought I handled the situation very well, but those people I spoke to just shortly after this tragedy just laughed and brushed it off as if to say "GET OVER IT".

So as Heather had said on her blog a while back: as her child was throwing up all over himself she took a picture and promised that you will later laugh at it. So that is what I did.

And I am still not laughing.... Nope, not yet.... Ask me in a few weeks or months when we are in the throws of growing out her newly cropped bangs and hating every second of it. We Maudsley's have no hair as is, and it takes FOREVER to grow. Not to mention Easter is next week and I sort of wanted a picture of the whole family. Guess that won't be happening either.

You can't tell in this picture the total damage but I promise if I were to turn her sideways you would see the blunt cut and missing chunks along with her stylish bangs . Maybe Aunt Mel can fix it tonight? So until then... Breathe.
TO BE CONTINUED.
