A hair cut, and then another hair cut, and then one more

I quickly cut Audrey's bangs on Wednesday night after bathtime. When we were finished I lifted her off of my bathroom counter and I headed downstairs to take care of dinner dishes. I recall about halfway down the stairs thinking - "I should put those scissors away." But I was more intent on the kitchen and so I ignored the thought.

Fast forward 45 minutes. I discover long blonde locks littering my bathroom floor. I review in my head. I cut 1/4 inch of bangs. I left the scissors on the counter. I see 4 inch lengths of hair. A lot of them. I shout "AUDREY!!!!"

It wasn't pretty. She cut all of what she could reach on the sides and the back was left long. Like a mullet. On Thursday I took her to a friend's house who is a hairstylist. Much better. Audrey was very sad when she looked in the mirror and all her hair was gone. Maybe she will remember that feeling next time? Maybe I will put the scissors away too? She's better now. And I like her little fairy hair cut.

  1. I remember having to do that to Elena when she was about 4-it was a sad day for both of us. Just this week she wanted me to chop off her long hair up to her chin-another sad day, but it's cute like Audrey's and she's happy-hope your little girl is, too! She's a doll!

  2. I think it worked out great jill. Audrey has a cute little face like yours so short hair seems to fit her well. We are excited to see you soon!

  4. Jillo, I hate to say this but I love the new "do"! I think that it really suite her teeny frame and features and I would be relieved that I no longer have the matted nest in the back to deal with each morning if I were you. (or Greg) Just tell her to think fairy and rent HOOK and show her Tinkerbell.
