This morning I woke up to find Mckenzie with scissors in her hands. I immediately took them away. I thought to myself, I shouldn't have left those in the bathroom! Well, I start getting breakfast ready and see a small lock of what looks like Becca's hair on the kitchen floor. I picked it up and asked Becca what it was. She gave me this little smile and said it was hair. "Whose hair?" I asked. "Mine." "Is there any more?" Elena piped up, "Yep!" "WHERE?!?!" She pointed to the garbage can and I looked in to see a significant bundle of hair. I looked closely at Becca's hair and gasped in horror! She had cut off a bunch on the left side of her head. Elena said she cut her hair too but I couldn't see where she had done it. She also said Mckenzie's hair was cut too. I looked at it but didn't think I noticed anything. Then a few minutes later, I realized that Mckenzie's ponytail was a whole lot shorter than it was the night before. I did not yell, but I was sick! I have threatened the girls with their lives if they EVER cut their hair again. Elena said, "Oops! Well Mom, we didn't want to bug you cuz you were sleeping." See cut hair below:
Becca's chopped hair
Mckenzie's is harder to tell because it was in a ponytail so now it is all kind of layered.
There was no way I was going to be able to fix either girl's hair and have it look decent. So I called the hair salon and they were nice enough to squeeze us in. We had to go fairly short with Becca but it is cute. Perhaps it will be nicer for the tangles since she has such a tender head and cries whenever I brush it.
This picture looks funny because of the chair behind.
Her new "bob"
With Mckenzie's, the girl just evened it out and shaped it around her face a little. And no, Becca is not growing out of her head! =)
I guess it is a right of passage as a child to cut your own hair. Luckily it wasn't too dramatic since we have wedding pictures in a month. It could have been a lot worse!
