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.

She's just making herself look a bit peculiar, possibly because she wants attention, but to my mind the more likely reason is that she was sitting there with the scissors and she was bored and she noticed her hair, and then it made an interesting sound, and fell in an interesting way when she cut it and it didn't occur to her until she was caught (or until you asked her about it) that this might be a bad thing to do.

This, exactly.

Yeah, this. We've been storing scissors on a D-clip hanging from a hook to help the impulse-control thing.

(Also, we don't fix own-haircut jobs, though the emergency salon option doesn't seem available to us anyway because it's something we find difficult and expensive to do; we did fix child B's style when child A cut the hair).
