When Elle was little Eva use to cut her hair...it had been going on for a while until I finally noticed.
Poor Elle, no wonder she didn't have any hair!
But I knew the day would come when Elle would take the scissors to her own hair.
Lucky (or unlucky?) for me she had her hair in a ponytail, so when her hair is down you can't even tell.
I love putting her hair in a ponytail, it's the perfect ponytail, all the right pieces fall out...it's a girls dream ponytail.
I haven't put her hair back in a ponytail yet because I'm afraid of what it may look like.
Here's the conversation and the aftermath:
Me: "Ellllllllllle, what's that noise? What are you doing?"
Elle: "Nug-ging" (nothing)
Me: "Come here, what are you doing?"
-Elle comes around the corner of the stairs-
Me: "What were you doing Ellie?"
Elle: "Umm, I cut my hair." and then points to her left side over her ear.
Me: "What?!" moving her frantically to look at her head, I see nothing.
Me: "Are you sure?"
Elle: "Umm, yes, I need my haircut."
-looking all around her head until I see the right side, with several chunks sticking out by her ear-
Me: "Oh no Elle. Your hair. Oh Ellie...you cut your hair. You cut your pretty hair.
Elle: "Ok."
-I took out her ponytail to see the damage...4 inch locks fall into my hand.
on a side note: her hair JUST started growing,
I was sad because I thought
I was going to have to cut all of her hair off
Me: "Look Elle, your hair."
-the tears just started coming from her, she was so sad-
Naturally the next thing I did was grab the camera and make her hold her hair.
It really could have been a lot worse...if her hair was down it would have been extremely obvious and I have no idea what I would have done...I probably would have to take her to a salon.
About 5 minutes after all of this we were sitting on the couch together, she turned to me and said:
"I'm sorry I cut my hair mommy."
Melted. My. Heart.
She might be defiant, never listens and is the personality equivalent of a wild boy...but she's also sweet, and very thoughtful. She's my girly-girl, she loves clothes and being a princess and thanks to her big sister she's got a better imagination than most kids her age.
After she apologized I just held her on my lap and cuddled her. It's NEVER a dull moment with Ellie.

That is the saddest face ever! What a little cutie!
Those pics are too cute! Oh Ellie.
Cute pictures, so sad, but so CUTE! That is exactly where Savannah cut her hair, right behind her ear when her hair was pinned up. So it looks awful in a pony tail. We have had to be a little more creative since then and she has worn her hair down A LOT more often then she had in the past. I can't wait till it grows back in.
