Well Mai,
You did it. You earned a rite of passage as a kid. You took matters, and your safety scissors, into your own hands and did it. You cut your own hair.
Now let me walk you through a bit of history here. At one point we were a bit worried about when you hair was going actually grow. The following pictures were all taken between February and April every year from 0 - 4 respectively.
At age zero, nothing. Okay, most kids don't have heads of hair at zero. We're okay.
Age 1. You pretty much have the same "hair" as you did when you were zero.
Age 2. You finally have "some" hair but it is all kind of weird still.
Age 2.5. It's finally growing in a bit. Ironically your hair in these pics look a bit like you look now.
Age 3. HAIR!
I remember when I first saw this picture of you at 3.5 and the first think I thought was "holy crap! She has mommy hair!"
Age 4: it's even longer! You kept saying that you loved your hair and you wanted Rapunzel hair so you were never going to get it cut.
This picture was taken 4 weeks ago, last week of April, 2016. Um, first off, where did you learn that move? Second, your hair is well on it's way to Rapunzel like.
A few days ago I came home to this.
Mommy and I were shocked. So shocked we upset you! When we finally came to grips with it your rational was "I wanted to see if I could do it. Cut my own hair." In all reality it could have been worse and you didn't do a bad job. For a four year old. With safety scissors. Who couldn't really see anything hiding in a corner. Oh, and doesn't know a thing about hair cutting. Afterward we talked a lot about how all kids do crazy things. Mommy told some stories when she was a kid and so did I. Our Facebook friends listed all kinds of stories of their kids doing the same thing. You loved hearing those stories. I think it made you feel better.
We did pop into a kid salon to do a quick "fix-it" cut.
Before
and after!
Who knows what you'll do now. You say you want to grow it long again but you also like it short. It's up to you baby, it's your head crazy town!
Love,
Daddy
