About three weeks ago, I decided to cut Grace's hair
...while she was in the tub
...without Spencer around
...with dollar store scissors.
About .5 seconds into the haircut (after a good two inches of hair was floating around in the tub...), I realized it was a mistake.
You see, sometimes I just want to do something drastic. Sometimes, I need something (however small) to change in my life. And sometimes...I make emotional, irrational decisions.
Sure, I'd been thinking about evening out her hair for a while to get rid of that "baby hair" look she had. But, in those thoughts, she was sitting up straight-ish in a chair, I was using our nice scissors, and Spencer was there to give feedback. Sigh...
So, I cut. And re-cut. And re-cut again. Until the poor little girl needed a good neck-shaving. Which I can't bring myself to do.
So, here's to the fact that toddlers are very forgiving. And forgetful. And unaware of social norms. And very, very suggestible. :) And here's to a lot of really nice people who have assured me that her hair looks just fine. (while chuckling to themselves inside, no doubt...)
Sorry, Grace. I did my best. Next time, we're takin' the plunge and heading to a beauty parlor.

It looks fine! I don't even dare trim D's hair anymore. I messed up once and had my mom and the pediatrician laugh at me. Sad day. Okay, not really that sad, but grandma cuts hair so I take him to grandma.
Oh my goodness, I think it's adorable! I love bobs on little girls. Good work!
For the record, I think it's cute. I was to scared to do Lauren's so I had Sarah do it.
If you would have posted the picture of her new haircut and not said you fumbled through it I would have never known. It looks so cute!!
She is growing up and changing. Adorable, really, hilarious way of going about it (or explaining it too). But honestly, cute.
She looks adorable in these pictures! I think short hair fits her face shape very well. :-)
I think she looks darling. Seriously, you did a great job! I can't believe how big Grace is getting. You should be so proud of that hair cut!!
I agree with everyone else, grace looks down right adorable!
I think it looks amazing! Will you cut my hair?! (JK, curly hair and bobs don't usually go well together). But Grace seriously looks so cute. I am excited to see her this weekend!
