She Loves It!
Oh goodness! Izzy gave herself another hair cut this past Saturday. She cut her bangs REALLY short this time and cut a good bit off the left side of her head. I took her in on Sunday to get it “fixed” and she decided on a really short style.
I know..you guys are probably thinking 1 of several things….
1) You let her get the scissors AGAIN?
I know this is not the first time she has done this with the scissors but she is in that phase of enjoying cutting construction paper up in to a million tiny pieces. So scissors are usually out somewhere. I like to encourage her to do the scissor work….it makes her hand stronger and improves her fine motor skills.
2) Since when does a 4-year-old get to decide on her hair cut.
Well, since I decided there are other, more important battles to fight. Like treating her sisters with kindness or sharing what she has with those less fortunate. I mean really, she goes to preschool….does it really matter if she has Maria Shriver looking hair?
3) Short hair on a little girl? It just doesn’t look right.
Well, my friends. I think you may need to take a closer look. I was concerned at first but she LOVES it and it fits her personality. She was amazed this morning when I combed her hair and it didn’t hurt. She likes the fact she could drink out of the water faucet and not hold her hair back.
When asked why she cut her hair, she will tell you that it’s because there was “one string….that got in my face and got in my mouth….and it annoyed me”. Well, alright then. She had a perfectly logical reason and now, that hair doesn’t get in her face and mouth anymore. I think that makes us all feel a little giddy.
