Carter the Barber

Carter has always had a fascination with hair. He loves to do the girls hair in the morning. He loves to twist Emma's hair around his fingers, creating knots. URG. As a baby he would rub his hair lightly to go to sleep. And the hair stories continue. Recently I was cleaning downstairs and the kids were happily playing upstairs...For a long time. I became curious and ventured upstairs to see how everyone was doing and this is what I found.



Hair in the trash can in Carter's room along with a pair of scissors laying innocently on the floor. I summoned the suspects and began inspecting heads. Carter chopped pieces of Darylyn's and Emma's hair. D's was in random places-bangs, the half pony tail, by her neck. E's was a good chop in the back right where her ca lick or cow lick (however youspell it) was. Which is now a spiky 3/4 inch tall. Plus a whack out of her hair in the front. I was TICKED!!!! Later that evening we had some major reconstructing to do. By the pictures you can tell it went very well. Now Emma looks like a boy again. Darylyn is lucky she had enough hair to work with.

The little stinker in the background!

Thank Heavens for curlers.

A couple of days later Carter came to me and asked, "Will you quit telling people I cut the girls hair?" "Why I asked?" His response, "Because it is embarrassing." Just remember that buddy.
