There had to be a major occurrence to get me to sit down and post. I think the Monkey cutting off her beautiful black curly hair qualifies. Dad was out of town yesterday so I left the seven year old Hawk in charge of the others while I took a shower. While I was in the shower, I did take notice of the absence of the Monkey trying to play in my water. I should have known something was up.
After my shower, I went into the downstairs bathroom to get my brush and was greeted by oodles of black curls everywhere and a pair of scissors sitting in the middle of them. I yelled as loud as I could "this better be your doll's hair or else you are in some serious trouble." The Hawk came running in and said "yea Mom, I came in here and found a lot of hair all over the sink but I rinsed it down the sink for you Mom." The Hawk can sure be a good helper, can't he? I then spotted even more hair in the garbage can. I was terrified to find her and see the damage. Well, here it is..........
You should know, the Monkey's hair grows really slow and what you are actually seeing on the right side there is the hair on top of her head that is covering up the butchered hair underneath (and notice the absence of hair behind her ear).
I washed it this morning and the only way I can fix it is to give her the traditional brush over that bald men tend to do. It does cover up the one inch sections, but it looks very straggly and goofy. So, now I have to take her to the salon to have the back cut so it blends in better, but no matter what I do, she is going to look a little silly for about a year.
I saved the hair that she cut off so I can remind myself everyday what pretty hair she used to have.
The Hawk, as you know, has been busy clogging drains. There really isn't much else to report on him or the Kangaroo. They've just been going to school everyday and dreaming about what they want from Santa. We've got a lot going on over the next several weeks though, so I should have plenty to report on.
Have a great day and be thankful for full heads of hair.
