Disaster Miraculously Averted

Wow, we had a near disaster today. I walked up the stairs after getting the phone to find Keara standing with a pair of hair cutting scissors in her hair. I gasped and yelled "Oh NO!" which startled her so much she started sobbing (a very effective method to get her to NEVER do something again, like pick raspberries, we've discovered). I was envisioning having to shave my little girl's head of beautiful curls as I walked towards her. When I got to her, I thought she hadn't truly cut anything, but then I saw the hair on the floor and on her shirt. Thank goodness for curls! I could see where she cut but she had done it so gently that the curls hid it. However, she also cut part of her little pony tail so I won't know the full extent of the damage until we take her hair down.

I'm SO relieved that she didn't chop anything and I'm also relieved to know that I really don't need to worry about her ever attempting that again since I scared her so badly!

I also fear for the day when one of my girlies either cuts her hair herself or gets gum stuck in her hair where I would have to cut it short.

I hope you're right and she doesn't try it again.
Poor River had Maddy cut his hair multiple times.
