Well...it happened. Much sooner than I thought it would though. I consider myself to be a very careful person when it comes to scissor storage in the house. I have like 6 pairs of kitchen shears, and they are always right where they are supposed to be, up on the counter in their containers. I also put my hair scissors up on a very high shelf in between Wallace's hair cuts. So I was seriously shocked when Anna walked up to me on Sunday and said "Mommy look! I cut my hair!" I was just about to take my first sip of a nice relaxing glass of wine.... I managed to stay calm for her, but it was seriously shocking! Anna found the one single pair of scissors that were easily within her reach. A teeny tiny pair of embroidery scissors that I keep in the bathroom for cutting tags off of clothes. :(

This was her reaction when she began to realize I wasn't going to be able to put it all back on her head.  "/ — This was her reaction when she began to realize I wasn't going to be able to put it all back on her head. "/

I told her I was going to call my hair dresser and we'd be getting her a big girl hair cut, to which she completely lost it. "I don't want to cut my hair!!!" So, I took a picture of her self-inflicted mullet and showed it to her... That didn't really make things any better. She just seemed so confused by the whole thing. I texted Kerri (my hair dresser) and sent her some pics of the damage. She was pretty sure this was the worst "hair attack" she'd seen so far. I honestly did a way better job on myself when I was older than Anna. I had bangs that I cut down to maybe 1 inch long...possibly less. Kerri was so sweet. She actually made a house call to my Mom's the next morning, brought along a special brush for Anna, and set to work. I think she did a phenomenal job considering what she had to work with. :)

Homegirl wasn't too sure about it at first. She apparently stood in front of the mirror and cried at her reflection for a while. I've made some drastic changes to my hair before, and I distinctly remember walking by the mirror and having to do a double-take "oh yeah...that's right..I colored my hair..." Anna wasn't really enjoying that experience. She called me at work and told me that her hair was driving her crazy and that it didn't look like her. And she asked when she could have her long her back. I keep telling her it will grow. She made my Mom brush it for an hour thinking that would speed up the growing process.

I think today she's finally at peace with the new hair. It's starting to grow on me. I'd like to keep it in a bob, but I'm not sure she'll ever be willing to go back to Kerri. "/ Maybe she'll surprise me.

I tried for two days to get some cute pics of the new do, but Anna hasn't really been wanting to pose. Plus, I think she's figured me out...

When she starts doing ridiculous stuff, I just give up and walk away...

So, I got some pics of Meredith instead. She was happy to pose. :)

Speaking of hair...when is this girl going to start growing some????

Anna didn't have much hair at 1 year, but she had a ton compared to Meredith. — Anna didn't have much hair at 1 year, but she had a ton compared to Meredith.
