Snicker-snack

A new parenting milestone has been reached. Elena got sick of pushing her hair out of her eyes and decided to do something about it. Daddy found her in the bathroom, this morning, cutting chunks from what we will now be forced to call bangs and dropping the pieces in the toilet. I had left the special hair scissors out from trimming my own fringe, the other day, I guess, and she remembered that only the special scissors can be used, but not that only Mommy can use them. I'll get a picture later when It's not rewarding her for her actions.


Photo Update: I know this isn't the best angle to see the full glory of the 'do, but she's sleeping so what can you do?

oh wow! I can't wait to see the pictures... that's real amusing that she waited till THOSE scissors were left out. See Lisa.. she knows the rules. heh. Best of luck at "repairing" the damage!

LOL! I think every child must do that at some point. I was thinking the other day that she would look so cute with short hair. Sorry about that.

ahh, hasn't every child done that? I did that when I was five, right before my Uncle's wedding. Those are some priceless photos! Hopefully she didn't do too much damage!

She actually did a really good job of getting the *right* hair--not chunks from the middle, just the front. It's just really short and ragged. I've already done what I can to repair the damage, but she currently looks like Emma Watson's Hermione Granger (circa Sorcerer's Stone with the really foofy hair) with a strip of Audrey Hepburn's pixie haircut right up center-front. I'm not happy, but at least I don't have to cut all her curls off.

So, lets see a picture.

I remember when you did that right before a mother/daughter style show. Your mom took you to a hair dresser to get it fixed (somewhat)

Why Snicker-snack?

It's from The Jabberwocky in one of Lewis Carroll's Alice books: "One, two! One, two! And through and through The vopel blade went snicker-snack!"
