Big Changes-This is going to take some getting used to!

I know this is out of order but I needed to share my day on Thursday, December 9^th. See these beautiful blonde curls? They are gone.

I mean, completely gone!

Thanks to Karah, the new hairdresser in the family!

Alyssa laid in my arms for a long time with her hands on the side of her head worried, saying I don’t want to be a boy! I don’t want to look like a boy!

Once we got a hat on her she started to feel better and more confident.

Here she is holding a small pile of my hair.

And the first pile of her own hair.

Karah went to hide under her bed.

Apparently, a friend at school got her hair cut in a bob and Karah decided she wanted her hair cut that way too! My feet were killing me so I thought I’d nap with the girls to try to help my feet heal and feel a little better. We laid down together for a nap and Karah got some scissors and started cutting Kate’s hair around her eyes so she could see. Then her pony. Then she started on Alyssa’s hair to see if it would look cute before she had her hair cut (smart girl!) Then, while I was asleep I thought I heard and felt a few snips of the scissors and thought it couldn’t possibly be reality. I opened my eyes and saw a few chunks of my hair on the ground! What the heck!!! She had the guts to cut her mother’s hair?! If I hadn’t have woken up I probably would have had the same cut as Alyssa! The funny thing is I have SO much hair and it’s pretty wavy so I don’t actually know where she cut my hair…I think it was towards the front on the left but I’m not sure! I started to freak out and then I saw Alyssa!

My mom rushed us off to Cookie Cutters in Bountiful to see if they could fix any of Alyssa’s hair! On the drive Karah was asking if she could do this and that when we got home and I told her she probably shouldn’t be asking me anything right now because the answer would be no!

At the kid’s hair cutting place, they said all they could do was even it out a little since it was so short.

We threatened Karah that we were going to have them do the same haircut on her. We were joking…kind of!

Alyssa wasn’t bothered in the least getting her hair fixed. She watched Go Diego Go and ate a sucker and was oblivious of what was going on around her.

We told her to look in the mirror after and that she was a beautiful princess and she was happy!

Karah ended up getting a bob and it’s pretty cute! Her hair looks a lot thicker and healthier!

They let Lys sit in her car, eating her sucker to watch more of her movie while Karah was getting her hair finished. Cookie Cutters is such a great place for kids!

Karah kept trying to tell Alyssa that she looked like a boy but I reminded her that it’s bad enough that she cut all of her sister’s hair off-she didn’t need to make her feel bad about it too! She will always be a girl and a princess, regardless if she has hair or not!

I feel bad I fell asleep and this happened but the pain of my feet has taken a lot out of me and I have been resting more often that usual. Anyways, they should have been sleeping!! I was not expecting this!

When we got home, we found the rest of Alyssa’s hair ( a ton!) that Karah hid in her closet. She had even cut out the elastics!

There was a huge mound of hair. I still can't believe this happened!

In real life Alyssa actually looks pretty cute with her short pixie cut. She’s got the personality to pull it off. She’s getting a few double takes because she’s wearing pink and people probably think she’s a boy at first (that goodness for girl clothes and that we got her ears pierced when she was a baby-for the same reason-no hair…lol)

Karah loves her hair-me too! (Her kindergarten teacher didn’t even acknowledge it this morning-she said she thinks her teacher didn’t even look at her today! Stinkin’ teacher! urrr!)

I am not good with change-or with doing hair so this is going to take a while to get used to but it’s just hair and they are still my beautiful girls-I love them! I am now in need of some hats and headbands though because elastics and even tiny clips will not stay in for more that a split second! Some hats make her look like a chemo patient though and I don't really feel good about that! I think we should dye it pink! Get her some tatoos, black leather clothes... Just kidding! I will definitely be buying very girly clothes for a while though!

I think Karah will hear about this for years to come-I still hear about it from my sister (I did the same thing when I was little…oops-sorry Ash. If it makes you feel better, Ash, I also took care of my own hair the next day and I was so embarrassed at how bad I looked! I still remember how embarrassed I felt-right after my mom took me to Homemaking and I remember spending the whole time in the nursery under a chair hiding!)
