When I question my sanity. For instance, what exactly was I thinking when I hurried up the stairs to fetch Cruz from his nap? "Here, Diego, start cutting out these pictures, I'll be back in a minute and we'll start gluing," I said as I ran up the stairs. Maybe, I was am too tired and can chalk it up to that. But, haven't I left my scissors on the table after sewing recently? He's come to be trustworthy with scissors, right? Or is the fact that I've left my scissors laying around the house just a sign that I've become lax? I used to be vigilant with the scissors. In fact, Eliana still is not allowed to touch them. At. All. For this same reason.
The PAT educator had been giving me a bad time for over a year that I had not allowed Diego to even try using a pair. She even told him in front of me that Mami was going to go and buy him a pair. And so I did. I did, even though I'd seen more than a few kids with bad haircuts in my day. I did not want this to happen at my home. It wouldn't happen at my home. He has been using his scissors for over a half year now. Always fairly responsible with them, never trying to cut anything more than the paper I give him. So, maybe I should just chalk it up to the fact that he had just received a haircut himself a few days before. Maybe it put the idea in his head. I had told him, "Your hair is too long, we need to cut it."
So, when I asked him why he cut hers, he told me it had been too long. Of course. He took only one small snip out of the back of her head. About 5 inches worth. So, off to the salon we went yesterday evening. And now we have super cute hair again.
She definitely won't be too hot this summer. Now, to grow it back out again!

Yes, it does look cute, and reminds me of the "pixie cut" that YaYa had as a little girl.
Now where is the before Super Cuts pic??? You did good!! All 3 of my kids cut their hair...and I WAS REALLY CAREFUL with the scissors...but some how they managed to do it anyway...yes it does grow back!!!
Her one true beauty! NO, you could shave her bald and she'd still be gorgeous. Looks like he got a good start on a nice cut. hahaha
wow, Diego! did he smirk when he said her hair had been too long, or did he have a straight face? :) She is beautiful no matter what, and the new do is adorable on her!
oh bethany. this was a hoot to read. you are a good sport. eliana's hair is cute!
Grayson did that once. He cut so much that even a buzz cut didn't hid it all. But, I'm glad he is a boy. :) She does look super cute with her new do!
