Learning to cut

With the big kids now having homework every night, we thought it would be a great idea for Squeaky to have some workbooks as well.  Tonight while Bug and Buddy were working on math, Squeaky started in a “learning to cut book!”

See how PROUD she is!!!

Apparently Squeaky had a bit larger goals tonight.  She wasn’t just going to learn to cut on paper…she is going to be a hairstylist!

However it is hard to do your OWN hair…and not something you can teach yourself.  So we went to the professionals.

How do I look??

The nitty gritty…Squeaky was sitting between her two older siblings…her daddy was making dinner…all of them were at the center island of our kitchen.  My phone rang, so I left the room to take the call.  Tim’s phone rang, so he answered and took the call while still making dinner.  Squeaky took the scissors, and LOCKED herself in the bathroom!!!   By the time I got the door open, she had cut her hair!!  I am thankful that it was “just hair” and that she didn’t cut herself or anyone else!  Just sad that it was her hair!  It will grow back, she will only look like a boy for awhile!  And hey, first day of preschool was last week, so I have those pictures taken!

The lady who cut her hair suggested we keep it long even though there are chunks taken out of the back!  In her opinion, if we were to cut it all short, the hair would be too thin.  Especially where Squeaky had cut the back of her very short.  The lady thinking her shortest cuts were too short to make it all that length and so just making it long, thinner and “chunky” would be better.  So we have a thin mullet going on…not sure how we will “do” her hair for awhile!!

And I really was just going to blog about her learning to cut the paper…what was I thinking??
