snip snip!

Well, it had to happen sooner or later! Larkin and I were cutting and painting paper snowflakes this afternoon with grown up scissors. She's very good with scissors now and I don't really have to worry about her cutting her fingers. We had finished all the cutting and she was just painting her snowflakes, so I ran to the bathroom (but left the scissors on the table--big mistake!). When I returned, I couldn't find her. Then she came out from under the kitchen table with my pair of scissors and I immediately said, "Oh my God! You cut your hair??!!" and then I started giggling.

She denied it at first but once she realized that I wasn't mad, she really was quite proud of herself!! I'm just glad that I had her hair in a ponytail--she wasn't able to grab anything other than her bangs. No telling what she would have done if ALL her hair had been down!! Needless to say Mommy's scissors will be locked away for a long time!!!
