Why I Am Not A Hairdresser (Or, Don’t Try This At Home Folks!)
I am a bad, bad mother.
I turned my daughter’s lush, long, beautiful hair into something short and not so lush.
What was I thinking??
Thankfully she is too young to realise
Thankfully my husband is a generous man.
Thankfully her hair grows quickly.
Thankfully there are still 5 weeks until my birthday party where we will be taking photos.
Thankfully, she is a gorgeous little girl who loves me anyway. (Did I mention the part about her being too young to realise what an idiot her mother is?)
Lesson: If you want to cut your child’s hair and they finally agree to sit still so you can do it, take a deep breath and take a snip into the unknown because you just never know what the result will be…

Oh and adding to the things I am feeling sick about, I seem to have lost my wedding rings. ARGH! But *shhh* I’ve haven’t confessed that to The Architect yet.
*UPDATE* After a day of getting used to it, I now think her hair looks cute. She just looks so much more like a little girl. And she is a little girl so that’s appropriate. Also, after three days of looking I confessed to The Architect about my rings. He found them in 5 minutes. As it happens, I am not very good at “looking”!

I think she looks adorable! Don’t you hate it when they find what you’ve spent days looking for – glad it’s not just me that it happens to!

LOL.. She looks just fine to me!! U should see my boys… when I first got hold of clippers. One word, disaster.
When you’re not looking for it, it pops up. So, next time u lose something..stop looking! :D

I’m glad I am not the only one who does this – you are all making me feel much better :)
She does look grown up and so adorable! I’ve done the fringe trim on a couple of occassions but generally I’m just to chicken!! Glad you found your rings :)

Thanks Caz. The fringe is hard, the pressure doesn’t help!
This looks much better than one of my signature haircuts… which I am not doing anymore because everyone has something (not very nice) to say about it afterwards.

Thanks Tat. The comments of others are never helpful in moments like these! When my husband first saw her, the first thing out of my mouth was “Don’t say anything, I know! I know!!”
She looks adorable in both pictures, honestly. And so glad the rings were found! See…? Win win!

She looks FINE. Hey, you should have seen what I did to Amy’s hair when she was littler. It. Was. Awful.

Oh no! Thanks love x
Too funny about the hair cut!! My sis is a hairdresser and showed me how to cut Max’s hair but … I’m a little nervous! His mullet is getting out of control! :)
It’s so nervewracking but you’ve just got to take the plunge. Good luck!
Hahaha! She looks beautiful, so so cute :o)
I have to laugh as I also cut my son’s hair, have done for his entire life. Problem is, it is really obvious I do. I have had countless remarks from family & friends. Some subtle, some not so subtle about when I’m going to finally take him to a ‘real’ hairdresser. I know I need to, with him starting preschool, the dagginess can’t go on. I’m certain he will get teased. Seriously, I have thought of this! Let’s just say you’ve done a much better job on your Bliss’ locks, than I do with my Angus’ hair :o/
Thanks Julie. I am really looking forward to being able to take her to the hairdresser! I don’t know why people feel the need to comment!
Ha! Well she is adorable! And so are you!
