We were still working on the valentines this morning and that involved a lot of paint, glitter, glue and other messy craft supplies. The phone rang. I answered it and noticed the gottle of glue had spilled onto one of the precious works of art. I started to clean it up, with the phone on my ear. I glance over to Abby who now has Madelyn right behind her. That's when things went into slow motion. Madelyn, safety scissors in hand, gives a little chop chop and down go Abby's never been trimmed curly locks. I could not believe it. I mean I heard of this happening. But I am standing right there! I know I was a bit preoccupied but I was standing right there...do I need to mention cleaning up the other major mess? So though it was not an all over chop--you can barely tell if you are looking at her from the front--it is significant and needs to be dealt with by a professional. So we are off to an emergency first haircut for Abigail after nap time. I guess it could have been much, much worse if I had not been right there or had been more preoccupied (which I often am) than I was today. We'd be going in for a buzz cut vs. what I hope will be a cute, short bob.
They do seem to enjoy the hair play...I thought the Play Doh barber shop was enough (maybe that is what gave her the idea to actually cut instead of just style!) But it might have been better if we started out on Barbies instead of Little Sister.
