CHOICES & CONSEQUENCES. . .

As I said yesterday was haircut day . . . well we had a few lessons on choices & consequences. I was trying to talk to the girls about what they really wanted, with no help from G Pharis, she was all about the bangs & short hair. As the mom I thought okay well you make the choice & then maybe next time you will listen to your mother. Both are now wishing they would have listened to me before. Aspen wanted wispy bangs, so that's what she got, not 1/2 hour later she was crying because they were in her eyes. Avery got in the chair & begged for short hair like Brooke's(a little girl from hockey), well she got that & the bangs. She started crying after her shower, she couldn't part her hair down the middle like she likes, & it was over after that. The tears were free flowing for about an hour or more and let me tell you we had a good discussion about the choices they made & how mom tried to talk both of them out of it. It is only hair & it will grow back, but in the mean time I am thinking that they will learn to love what they have or we will have a few more tears in the mornings before school when we are trying to figure out what to do with bangs for the first time & no quick ponytails.
I got my hair layered & colored, it was my decision but I love it! :) no tears from the mom. I have already made my hair mistakes a few times, starting probably when I was about 10-11 (Aspen's age) when I would phone up Janelle VanOrman & beg her for a haircut. What happened was a really short do with a ton of curls. It looked like I had a ski jump on the top of my head. I lived with it & started growing it out on that day. But that didn't stop me I did more crazy hair things & now being 32 I am finally figuring it out. So I am sure you are thinking why did you let them do it. . . well it is only hair and eventually it will grow back, & while the girls don`t like it yet, they do look cute & they will get used to it soon . . . I hope!
(I will get pictures of the new hair soon)
