so I hope you are caught up or you have already seen the post from yesterday.
Yesterday G2 (11 yrs) said to Miss Goo “you’re so pretty” and she said “No I’m not”. I said “You’re beautiful, tell Grant I’m beautiful” she did and then I said “even with the mullet”. I asked her “WHO cut your hair?” and she put her little pointer finger up to her cheek, rolled those eyes up and began tapping her finger on her cheek and said “Hmmmmm, I’m thinking about it, I’m thinking about it” then she said
“Jesus cut it”.
Can you imagine what our years are going to be like when she is a teenager.
I have received so many funny e-mails from gals telling me stories about their sagas of HAIR CUTS.
We have laughed and laughed. Our big boys have enjoyed all the stories too. G2 looked at me and said “See Mom I told you we would all laugh about this SOME day”. We have given a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. If you can top those stories send them to me. We may have to give out new AWARDS.
Can you top these?:
In 3rd place
My nephew..who had the most beautiful big dark eyes.. with long dark naturally curved eyelashes.. at age three,decided he did not like being admired.. people would say without thinking.. “with such gorgeous eyes and eyelashes..you should have been a girl”.. so he promptly cut off his EYELASHES! because he didn’t want to look like a girl.. today, he is the most handsome man with the most beautiful expressive eyes..and long curly eyelashes.. of which both his mom and I are so envious!! there is something about being three..

I think we almost all of us have been there. My Daughter was 4 and her brother was 3 when they had the HAIRDAY MASSACRE! I only noticed when my son walked by and I couldn’t figure out why he had white fluff on his shirt. Then I saw it. She had opened up her very own barber shop. Not only had she cut her hair she cut his and a half a dozen stuffed animals then not feeling like she had accomplished enough she moved on to her bed skirt and the netting that hung above her bed. You are lucky bows cover the damage. The only way for me to cover what she did to her hair would be with a bonnet. LOL I can laugh now after years of therapy! Oh the memories.
I hope that all of you know how proud i am of our JadyBug. She is smart, sweet, a great big sister, strong, athletic, graceful, funny, loving and a blast to be around. But, she isn’t always as great as that sentence may lead you to believe. Two years ago tonight was one of those times…
It was my quarter end and it had been a semi-stressful day. We weren’t to the point that we were doing a lot of business yet, so I was able to go home at a decent hour. I got home and Jade didn’t want to go to bed. She wanted to watch “Herbie Fully Loaded” and we didn’t. So we let her curl up in our bed and watch it. She had been coming to check in with us every so often. We noticed that it had been a little while since we had heard from her. We thought that she must have gone to sleep. We didn’t go check on her.
Several minutes went by and we still didn’t check on her. Certain she must be asleep.
Soon, she comes bouncing out of our room. “Look, Mommy, look what I did to my hair!” In the night light silhouetted, I thought, “What on earth did you put in your hair that got it so slicked back?” I reach out to touch it, expecting wet and gooey. Instead, I feel a buzz cut! I scream, I start to cry, I send her over to the couch where Scott is sitting.
While I go and look in the bathroom, Scott calls my parents to come over and be a voice of reason. In the bathroom, I find the scissors put away and they hair, little 1 inch long strands, gathered up and put in the trash. At least she tidied up after herself!
My parents got there just as we were about to shave her head. My mom said that we just couldn’t do that to her. It would be too traumatic. So, we cleaned up the edges and got rid of a few longer chunks on the top.
Here is how our little blond beauty looked, two years ago today.
And how she looked two years ago, tonight…
Yes, she cut all the way back and all the way down each side. Every family has at least one child that cuts their hair. Never have I known one to cut her own hair to such a length. I told her when she did it that she would be in kindergarten before we were able to cut it up to a bob. Guess what? She’s in kindergarten and it is just barely long enough to do a little bob. She doesn’t want one, so we just tapered it and tried to blend it a little, while keeping her length.
The saddest part of the story was the next morning. Jade came running into our room and said, crying, “Mommy, my hair! It didn’t grow back!”
That winter she wore a lot of really cute skull caps. She still got to look like an adorable little blond girl with her long hair hanging out the back. But, boy am I glad it’s long enough now we can pull it back any way we want and the front doesn’t require a handful of bobby pins… Compliments of Amy from http://www.singingandspinning.com/2008/09/difference-two-years-makes.html
I can look at that picture and be thankful for the mullet.
