The Hair Caper

The crime:


The weapon:


The evidence:

*DNA comparison


*Fingerprints


*Previous cutting behavior


All leading to the perp --


The aftermath:


Yes, we now have bangs as of Saturday night. She still has a few really short pieces underneath, but I couldn't bear to cut her tresses to even everything out. Hopefully her long hair will hide the rest of the damage. This toddler lark was physically painful for me -- not her hair! But I went into crisis mode, got her to a salon, and everything turned out better than I thought. What's done is done, and we're all doing okay (sigh!). Case closed!

Oh my word! Not her beautiful hair. She still looks just as beautiful with bangs and your post was just adorable. I have to say I have threatened (yes, threatened) Vallie that if she ever takes scissors to her hair by herself she will be sorry. Aren't I just the worst.

Oh poor mommy! I think that one's harder on you than on Alyssa - but she does look adorable with bangs!

That was a hilarious picture journey- and she looks great with bangs! (perhaps I will follow your little trend setter!)

Oooh... stinker. I have the no cut talk with AJ all the time. Who knew that Jake would be the first to try. I caught him right as he put the scizzors to his head. I think you should call the short pieces layers. :) I think the bangs are super chic though! :)

You just have to laugh or you'd cry, right? She does look adorable with bangs now. I love that last picture with that cute expression on her face. What a cutie!

I know how you feel, but I love the bangs on her! She's such a doll anyway, but they frame her face nicely. :)

I don't mean to sound crazy but I just love when little girls do this! It shows such a fun and spunky little personality. I'm sure it's becuase I don't have a little girl to worry about cutting her hair but I think she looks darling with bangs.

This happens in our house all the time! Grrr- makes me mad.

She looks so happy and content with bangs!

There always has to be some travisty with sissors and hair.

I think Alyssa turned out pretty cute!

I glad to see it's easily hidden! She does have such beautiful hair - it would be such a shame to have to cut too much. So, did she own up to it or did you really have to "investigate"?
