IT happened!!!!

Yes, it happened.  Something most every family experiences at least once in their lifetime.  I had been waiting for this day.  Actually I thought we might have escaped it being that the girls are now six and half and almost four.  But what was I thinking?


The other night I was washing dishes.  Selah comes running down the stairs with a HUGE smile on her face and very proudly says to me:

"Mommy, Sofia cut my hair!"

This mommy had a million and one thoughts running through her head but I actually managed to be calm and say,

"I see.  But Selah, this really isn't a good thing."

Selah looks at me with disbelief then you could see reality cross her face.

"Oh."

Sofia then comes running down the stairs, 

"She made me do it.  She made me do it."

For the next few minutes I had some great dialogue with my girls about knowing and understanding right from wrong, owning up to doing wrong, accepting responsibility, seeking forgiveness and accepting forgiveness. 


As for Selah's haircut?  It isn't very noticeable.  The right side is about two inches shorter when you pull both side hairs straight but you can't tell so much because of her curls.
