OH, Nooooo! Say ain't so.

Oh man, I swore this would never happen, and since Noah is almost five and nothing had happened yet, I thought I was out of Dodge. BUT...after getting out of the shower, while walking down the stairs with the kids to fix breakfast for the kids, Noah announces to me that Micah has cut her hair. Then Micah's rebutal, "No, Noah did it." My heart stopped I took a quick look at Micah's hair and had to send both of them to their room. I knew if I didn't their would be some major yelling. I wish I had been one of those awesome moms who say, "oh, that was very creative Noah. But we shoulnd't cut sisters hair." Yeah, well that wasn't me. They stayed in their room for a while till I could cool down. I even called a friend for support. This whole incidence has taught me that I have a pride issue. I look at Micah and to me she looks like a kid whose mother just didn't take care of her, or doesn't care what she looks like. I have to tell myself that I know what happend, and I know I care about her. It just makes me so sad. It changes her look so much. Her bangs were finally almost even with the rest of her hair...oh I got to let it go. This is her hair fixed up a bit. A girl from our ward who is amazing at cutting hair came over and tried to fix it for me. It won't ever look the same, (not anytime soon, but I thought I would throw a sapurlative in their for you Travis). This will be a long growing process. Oh yeah, on later looking we found Micah had done some small amount of damage to Noah's hair too. But who cares it is Boys hair.

Hi Amy!
I remember when I cut my hair as a little girl, one day while my mom took a nap. I cut some paper first, but couldn't find anything else that my mother wouldn't get upset about, so I decided to go for my hair. I gradually cut all the hair off the left side of my head, up to my chin (I had very long hair then, down the middle of my back). My mother woke up as I was admiring myself in the mirror, and I won't ever forget the look of shock on her face. She couln't bear to touch it, so when my dad came home he cut off all the rest to even things out! I guess I should be mentally preparing myself for Miyabi to do something like that, too. In any case I sympathize with you, and I also I agree that Micah manages to look beautiful no matter what.
love, Sarah
