scissors

Last week I was excited to put Ree's love for scissors to use.

This week - not so much.

Last week she used the scissors to cut fabric. This week it was her hair... that she cut. Bangs to be exact.
Oh and did I mention that we're taking family pictures next weekend?!

Our first family pics since Maria was 6 months old.
Oh my sweet sweet Maria... memories, right? At least she cut them long enough that they can be swept aside. And honestly, I think they're kinda cute!

(Um, ignore the fingers in the nose. Somehow I failed to notice until I posted the pics. What is happening to my brain!?!)

Just for the record, the conversation went something like this::
me:: MarEEEEa did you cut your hair?!!!
Ree:: grin. um hm.
me:: Did you think that was an ok thing to do?
Ree:: No. But it was too long! So I took my hair like this (pantomime grabbing hair that was once hanging in her face), and I stood in front of the trash can, and then I cut it like this (pantomime scissors in action), and then I just put it in the trash! And that way I didn't need a hair cut apron! Cute toddler smile.

Clearly since she negated the need for a haircut apron (I usually have her wear one), cutting one's own hair is a-ok. sigh

Can you believe that we have never had a hair-cutting incident at our house? And now that I have verbalized it, we will. :) I answered your comment on my blog...I never know quite where to answer- here or there? Anyway, she is pretty cute- gotta love her even if she cuts her hair!

It looks great! I like the bangs. I mean you can clean it up to make it straight but it looks ok. :)
