First haircut!

[NCW_Woodnymph]

So I wake up this morning to my kiddos in my bed, which is typical when I wake up late, and I run my fingers through my beautiful two year old hair, which I love to play with, only this morning 3 inch pieces come off in my hand! I roll over to see Mikey holding his little sissors and looking very proud of himself. Of course he knew better because he had done it to himself a couple of years ago but apparently it seemed like a good idea at the time. Luckily he had only cut off enough so that when I evened it up she had a cute little bob. His on the other hand he had gotten practically to the scalp but I usually buzz it about twice a year anyway so, oh well. :D

Anyway, from the people I've told it sounds like everyone has done it at some point. Anyone have any funny stories about their little ones first?:hippie:

hahahaha well, I have a really funny one of myself from when I was around 3 or 4. I grew up in a very mixed neighborhood and many if not all of my friends at that time were black so while Dad was at work I found some brown shoe polish and attempted to color myself. In hindsight I think it was rather amusing.. altho I'm not too sure what my Dad thought of it when he got home. lol

You think that might be some sort of unspoken right of passage? LOL Everyone has done it before. :hippie:

Oof..I had a bad flashback just now.

I was 7 or 8 ..and my grandmother came to visit me one weekend at summer camp. She said I looked scruffy and dirty. (and your point Grandma, is???????). Well, grandma had enough of that, and borrowed some plastic kiddy scissors from a counselor, and proceeded to give me bangs. Not cool feathery bangs either..but super short..practically sticking straight up in the air, crooked bangs.

I remember a boy I liked at camp saw me afterwards and said I looked stupid. I'm still scarred from this event.

Other than that- yup - I cut my hair at 3..big funny chunks on one side. And then again at 5 when I got gum in it, tried to hide that little tidbit of news, and tried to cut it out mah'self.

When I was 3 or 4 years old I took a pair of scissors and chopped off the front of my hair right to the scalp. I told my mom I wanted to look like Superman, (George Reeves) T.V.s being only the of the black and white variety and not the greatest picture quality. I was unable to tell he had his hair combed back.....ooops!

I tried cutting my own bangs when I was little, they ended up being about a quarter of an inch long and stuck straight up in the air. There was no fixing it but i'm sure it had to have been at least a little cute in kind of a goofball way, who knows :)
