Alex cut her hair. Again. I am completely disgusted with her. The last thing I had time for today was an emergency salon appointment.

I don't think today was the first time, either. There was a section near the front that I had noticed a while ago was suspiciously short. She denied cutting it. (This time our nanny caught her.)

She chose a new style which is quite pretty, and I confess that I am secretly delighted that I won't have to try to wrestle her hair into a ballet bun anymore, because I sucked at it. And her hair was difficult to care for because it's so fine. But for God's sake I have frequently offered to take her to the damn salon if she wants her hair cut. It is completely ridiculous of her to chew at it with scissors.



I wish there were a way to keep people from fussing over how cute she looks, because I don't want her to get a lot of positive attention for misbehaving. But of course there isn't a way.

The two times my son has had his hair cut, he's started the job himself. Both times, he knew perfectly well that all he had to do was ask and we'd get him a haircut. I got the impression that it was his way of maintaining control and making it fully his decision. Or possibly his way of making the decision in such a way that he couldn't change his mind.

(And the second time he did it was the day after Christmas. Must be something about the season.)
