Colette was a good little monkey, and always very curious...

"Hi Colette! Oh my. OH MY. What have you done? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" These are roughly my words a couple mornings ago when Colette greeted me at the door. We have finally had our first experience with hair and scissors. Can't believe it took until the third kid for this to happen...yet when considering who our third kid is, there should be no surprise. So here are the much anticipated pix. They're not the day of the incident, those are frozen on my laptop, but they're a couple days after. Sorry they're a bit dark - look closely and you'll see :). Just the day before this fiasco I was walking Colette and Calvin over to church and thinking to myself how cute her hair was getting, I had the sides of her hair up in two little pony tails and left the rest long. I thought, "I can't wait for the family up north to see it!" Now I know this is may be silly of me to fuss so much over hair...I know...I guess I learned my lesson. So then we get to church and a lady from our congregation, whom we barely know but is very nice, had left a little package in the office for Colette with two packs of hair clips and ties in it! The day before she chops it. Of course. So once I had come to terms with the reality of her sheering, I took her to Cool Cuts for Kids. Surely I wasn't the first person to have this sort of emergency. Thankfully they're used to crazy moms like me. We waited 20 mins for her turn and I showed the hair dresser what she had done. I told her I wasn't ready to cut her long hair. She said, "Then we shouldn't". It was that simple. She also gently told me there really wasn't a lot she could do with it anyway - not with it being this short. :) She said we could come back once it has grown out a bit and maybe do a cute short style. So, she now has a sort of 80's spike/mullet thing going on, but at least we can still pull the one clump of bangs over w/ a barrette! :)

Enjoy!!
