A Mother's Worst Nightmare (and Father in this case)...

Well, they say almost every child will try and cut their own hair, right? Presley decided to give herself a hair cut! Yep, Payton ran into our bedroom where Ashly was and all I heard Ashly say was, "how bad did she cut it?" That really freaked me out because I thought Presley had cut herself. Nope, her beautiful hair. I ran into the bathroom and saw a thin strip of hair on the ground and thought, "oh, that's not too bad!" Then I looked in the trash can and could not believe what I saw...a lot of hair. Not only did she purposely cut her hair, she took the time to put it in the trash can. She took two big chunks of hair, one over each ear. Needless to say Ashly and I had a long talk with her. The whole time her bottom lip was popped out and she was on the verge of tears. We told her that we weren't mad at her but we were very sad that she cut her beautiful hair.
Ashly then called our neighbor (Chris) that cuts all of our hair and he came right over to assess the damage. He said that it was pretty bad but he was sure he could blend it in with the rest of her hair. Chris is coming over tonight to "blend" her hair.
The best part is when Chris left, Presley asked if he was going to fix her hair. I told her I sure hoped so and Presley's response was, "is he going to tape it?" I died laughing and had to explain to her that the hair she cut off was long gone! I told her it will take time to grow out again. You could tell she was so upset about it. Hopefully she learned a lesson and won't ever cut her hair again!

OH my gosh! That looks like a lot of hair. I can't wait to see the other pictures. Caleb has done that twice, but it's a lot easier to deal with just cutting off a boys hair--not your sweet little girl! At least it will grow back.
