It all started when I found some hair strangely detached from Scarlett's new Rapunzel doll.
And then in a hairbrush, I noticed some curls the exact color of Scarlett's hair.
Oooh, Mommy was not happy. I immediately knew what happened: Christian had taken his new scissors from Christmas and cut Scarlett's hair. Rather than getting mad at my young lad who surely meant no harm, I turned to Jonathan and said, "You need to be the one to handle this."
We had visitors that day, and so Jonathan quietly took Christian to our bedroom and had a chat. Christian emerged a few minutes later with an apology for me and Scarlett.
But, then Carrie noticed another piece of hair on the floor and showed me. It was Christian's hair! A closer look at his head revealed he'd taken the scissors to his own head, too.
Now I must confess ... for that discovery, I walked around the corner and laughed because I found THAT haircut humorous because I knew the remedy was simple: Shave Christian's head.
It was bound to happen ... I think most kiddos get a hold of a pair of scissors and experiment on their hair ... or a sibling's hair ... or a friend's hair.
Luckily, Scarlett has so much crazy hair that her little haircut isn't obvious. I have found a couple of places where it seems the hair might have been cut, but I can't tell for sure. So that's a good thing! There will be no cutting of my baby girl's precious curls.
