Bangs

This morning we had a bad storm come through so all the schools were delayed opening for several hours. I put Bob down for a morning nap and let Anne cut with her scissors while I was upstairs. She has become obsessed with using scissors. She loves to cut paper into shapes - making necklaces, bracelets, measuring tapes, etc. I have been supervising her for awhile now and we have had the talk that we ONLY cut paper. Well, the doorbell rang and as I was walking down the stairs she came running up and told me she "got the hair out of her eyes". I said great and kept going right past her. A few minutes later I walked past the playroom and noticed large chunks of hair on the floor! 

 

I started yelling to her (she was now upstairs) "What did you do"?!!! I hear her burst into tears. I got her back down stairs and made her help clean up the mess. 

All that hair above her eye used to be even with the back. It looks like a mullet from this angle. Lovely.

She knew I was upset with her and was not happy about having her picture taken!

It was a lot of hair!

Finished product.

So now we have bangs... I am taking her to the salon to have it fixed tomorrow. It could definitely be worse, but still upsetting. I cried when I saw her. Oh, life with a three year old!

Anne's Hair Cut & Gymnastics

Anne had her first "real" haircut and she did great! My mom has trimmed her mullet a few times over the last year, but the front half is finally growing out so it was time for an all over trim. She usually does not like when we cut her hair so I was not expecting it to go well. Will and I talked it up to her for several days before so she was excited. It helped that I brought a sucker for her. It was quite a hit! She also loved being able to sit up in the big chair and look at herself in the mirror.

Getting started...

With clips all in her hair.

Being so good.

All done!


Anne started gymnastics this morning. It was so cute. We had her 2nd birthday party at the gym and she loved it, so I signed her up for the spring session. She is in the class with her friend Lulah. There are supposed to be two other children in the class with them, but they did not show up. So Anne and Lulah had a private lesson!

Here she is doing a pull-up on the bars.

Hanging with Lulah

The teacher commented on how coordinated Anne and Lulah are for their age. You might be looking at two future olympians here! :-)

And I couldn't leave Bob out. Hard to believe he is almost 3 months old!

p.s. Sorry for the bad picture quality. These were all taken with my phone...
