I bought my 5-y-o DS a new pair of safety scissors today, since he wore his old ones out. We were going to start working on making Valentine's cards.
Long story short -- phone rang, I was away for about 3 minutes. When I returned, my 2 1/2 y-o DD who has never had a haircut was now sporting a left-sided mullet and a 2-inch circumference of a bald spot on the crown of her head. DS cut the hair down to the roots.
Surprisingly, I wasn't mad, just sad. I cried for about 2 hours, I think. Then I went on an ebay spending spree and bought about 5 outfits with matching hats!
I don't think DS has ever seen me cry. He felt absolutely terrible, and gave me his "Martin" to sleep with tonight. He has never, ever slept without his buddy Martin.
Any ideas what I should do? About the hair, I mean? The only way to blend it in would be to shave her whole head, I think. Hats for the next 2 years?
(BTW, I realize this has nothing to do with my December babe, but you guys are such a huge part of my life now, I had to share this "tragedy" with you. Oh, and it's okay to laugh. I know someday, maybe in 25 years or so, I'll be able to laugh about this, too.)

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry. That is a big fear of mine. Silly I know. I actually had a dream once that my mom went and got Dd's hair cut really short, and I just cried and cried...I actually woke up sobbing. Strange huh? I don't think I have any comforting words. Uh....it's just hair. it will grow back...how was that? Not so good? Didn't think so. Hats...lots and lots of super cute hats. 
At least it will make for a funny story when they're older. 
i would have cried, too! goodness. let's see... i'm with B, i just have immense sympathy for you! 
I guess I shouldn't be too hard on my 5-year-old if you didn't know better at 8.
