The other night Hannah asked to cut some "hair" for herself, which simply means cutting off a piece of some multi-colored yarn to pretend it is Rapunzel hair. For awhile after she saw "Tangled," she dragged around a long piece of yarn and pulled stuff up the stairs, attached it to her own hair, threw it down from the couch to have us grab onto it, etc. She hadn't done it in awhile, so I figured it would give her something to do. When she asked if she could cut it herself, I thought "Okay, Heather, this is an opportunity to show that you trust her and believe in her. She can do this!" She started cutting piece after piece of the yarn, and was simply enjoying cutting, so I figured it would be okay to leave the room. Oops. Now, the pictures REALLY don't do it justice, but Hannah most certainly has a mullet (something I haven't seen on her since she was about 2 and barely had hair growing in!) It's reminiscent of Senia's PURPOSEFUL mullet from elementary school...still funny today!
You can kind of see the shorter pieces on the side there.
I love how in this one she strikes a pose that makes her look so confident & stylish that she could model the mullet...and look good! :)
Fortunately, I was able to (kind of) just laugh about this, and hopefully the mullet will soften and/or I'll be able to get her in somewhere to get her hair evened out a bit. The sad part is that her hair has just been getting long enough to get into one ponytail without any stray hairs...and now...sniff. I think I was more upset than she was. ;) At any rate, it wasn't the first time, and it probably won't be the last time, but it's an experience worth mentioning. :)
