First Hair Cutting

Notice, I said hair cutting, not hair cut!  Where is Grandma Norma when I need her????

Now, I knew this day was coming.  Everyone always talks about how eventually kids will cut their own hair.  And I totally assumed Willow would find a pair of scissors and take them to her hair, she has always had an opinion about everything, why not her hair?  I just never though it would be Jayden who cut her hair.  He's usually such a rule follower.  But, I walked outside to find Jayden and Willow behind Royal's truck with a pair of red scissors and Jayden snipping something off the top.  And when I come up and said, "What in the world do you think you are doing?"  Jayden says, "I'm giving Willow a haircut!"  I say, "That's not okay!"  To which he says, "Well, I didn't know that"  And I ask, "Then why are you hiding while doing it??"  Jayden : "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"  That's what I thought!

Willow is now the proud owner of some crooked bangs.  I am so thankful Jayden didn't cut them down to tiny spikes.  And with her crazy hair-do today, I actually don't think they look half bad, I kinda like them, but I didn't by any means tell Jayden that.  I had to pretend I was mad at him so he would hopefully never do that again because who knows what the next time's results would be.

And when I told Willow I was going to have to take a picture of them,  Jayden comes right up behind and says, "You're taking a picture?  Don't they look good? Don't you like them?  I think they look so good!"  and Willow says, "I have such beautiful hair!"

Maybe Grandma Norma can give Jayden a few tips and he can be our official hair cutter in between Grandma Norma visits,  and I can finally give up trying!
