Anna's Unexpected New 'Do'

As I was making my bed the other day, Jonah & Anna came upstairs to see me and I thought to myself "she looks different for some reason..." Anna disrupted my thought process with "Mommy, Jonah cut my hair!" She was so happy.

*GASP!!!*

That's all I could do. I brushed my fingers through the right side of her hair and *gasp*...it's all gone!

*Gasp* what..how could...OH NO *gasp*

I ran downstairs and as soon as my eyes laid upon all the beautiful curls on the dining room floor, I just started to cry. I don't think I cried solely because my 4 year old cut the entire right side of his 3 year old sister's hair all off because "she told him to," but that's what it took to bring me to tears.

Well, to make a long story short, after receiving some encouragement from Richard and a few sisters from church, I gave her a new "do" and I think I really like it. It's cute and makes her look all grown up. Here she is before & after:

Come to find out, it's happened to lots of people! I've heard countless scissors-to-the-hair stories from friends and family ever since I've experienced this Mommy "rite of passage."

And I'm sure there's lots more to come...

Diane showed me the pictures last night before Bible class. She does look so grown up, now! Wow. And, she looks happy with it, too! :)

When Will was about 2 1/2, he took the scissors to his bangs. He cut them all off as close as he could to the scalp. I wanted to laugh and cry all at the same time because he looked hilarious and ridiculous.

You did a great job with the new 'do! She still looks like a princess... just a more grown up one! :)
