The Haircuts...

I have two dear, sweet girls.  Most of the time that is.  Last Sunday Zack came in and told me Sage had cut her hair.  Fabulous.  She came in to show me the damage.  She cut it really short in two places but somehow managed to not cut full chunks out, so its really not very noticeable.  Okay, disaster averted.  Or was it?  A couple of days later I was doing Kate's hair and realized that she had cut her hair too.  Seriously?!!  My six-year-old didn't know better than to cut her own hair?  Kate's is much worse than Sage's.  She cut a big chunk right in the front of her hair.  And she had even been saying she wanted to grow her hair out.  That's going to take awhile now.  She cut it so short that I don't see any way to fix it, so I left it.  Of course this happened a few days before school pictures.  Lovely.  The best part about this whole episode is that when I got mad at Kate for cutting her hair she started getting mad at me.  Yes, because I was getting mad at her I was ruining her life and am the worst mom ever.  Kate is quite the character.  When she gets upset or embarrassed she lashes out with her tongue.  And quite the tongue she has.  That is why there are no pictures, she would have freaked out if I had even suggested it.  Finally, a couple of days later, she calmed down enough to apologize.  And yes, perhaps I am a bad mom for not disciplining her more.  Pick your battles is my motto, and I decided to run away from that one.  I think its consequence enough that she has to stare at her really short hair.  Good times, good times.
