The day finally came...

I thought I had gotten away with Kenna never cutting her own hair. We had talked about it in the past and she had assured me that only Mommy or Grandma can cut her hair. Well today while I was feeding the baby and talking on the phone (yes, multi-tasking), I saw her go into the bathroom - but I thought she was going in there for the reason we all go into the bathroom. A little bit later she came out and said, "Look Mommy!" At first I didn't know what she was talking about - but then I saw it. To my horror, she had cut both sides of her hair up to her chin! She then went and showed me the floor in the bathroom where all of her hair was laying. It made me sick. I put her in the tub and then called to see if I could get her in for a haircut. We were able to go a couple of hours later and the hairstylist did as best she could (she cut some length off the back and tapered the sides). The pictures don't give it justice. She also cut on the top of her head - so she has little hairs that stick straight up right where her part is. Oh well. Hair grows. And it could have been worse. I just couldn't believe the day finally came. I thought maybe I got lucky and she would never do it - but guess the urge was too great! :)

It's hard to see in this picture but you can kinda see if you look right around where her chin is on both sides.

The evidence.

She cut some off the top too! This part gives me the most headache because it doesn't lay down very easily. Lots of water and hairspray until these strands grow out!

She LOVED sitting there getting her hair cut. I'm almost afraid that she liked it too much and might cut again so that we can go back again.

We came home and I curled it and put some clips in. It looks cute and you really can't tell (thanks to a great hair stylist!) but it will give me problems - no ponytails or braids down the back for awhile!
