Watch your kids…

Because a four-year-old, when she decides that she’s sick of having bangs in her eyes (I pin them back, she takes the pin out), WILL CUT HER OWN HAIR.

Here’s the before pic, taken two weeks ago:

Pay no attention to my messy kitchen, please…

In less than five minutes my little girl cut off 4 years worth of curls.

I’m recovering. A little slower than she is, but I’m recovering.  Just grateful she didn’t cut herself.

    Should I call the hair protective services?

    She looks just like you! especially in the first after picture! It will be ok- they’re destructive little devils aren’t they? :)

    I think the look on her face in picture 2 is priceless…lol. I feel for you, but she’s still adorable.

    One day she will be very thankful for all those beautiful curls.

    Until then I will cry with you.

    Hehe. I have more than my fair share of hair cutting stories, so even although I empathize with you for a bit, I am also laughing when seeing the pictures and remembering similar incidents in my family.

    At least she gave you blog fodder ^^

    Some day I’ll dig up some of the worst before and after pics in my folders and post them. In my spare time, you know.

    Oh man… I KNOW you weren’t happy about that. Bright spot, no children were injured by their own haircuts…
