Just a normal evening for us.....bath was complete, jammies were on, teeth were brushed and Sallie had gone upstairs to pick out a book for a little story time. She had gotten pretty quiet and it was taking a bit longer than I thought it should. (plus, I may have gotten a little sidetrack with Dance Mom's Miami) :-)
I went upstairs to rush her along..........and I couldn't believe it. Scissors in her hand, and smile on her face, Her hair was cut above the chin on both sides with a rat tail remaining in the back. Yikes!!! I fell to the floor in tears. She had gathered up all of the hair and placed it in her suitcase, thinking I wouldn't notice. Once Sallie realized what she had done, she felt so bad and was super sad. She said she just wanted to be like Rapunzel...."and, and Rapunzel cut her hair and she is still a beautiful princess" she said in tears.
By this point, I knew she had realized a mistake had been made, and I realized it was just hair. So Rich and I both began consoling her. She was worried her teachers at school wouldn't love it.
Thankfully our neighbor came to our rescue and turned the chopped up mess into a beautiful new do!!
