So, my nearly 5 year old was playing hairdressers this morning.......

[MerlinsBeard]

....and i bet you can tell where this is going.....

I woke at 6:30 and all was quiet, rolled oover and went back to sleep. I am 36 wks pregnant and have OC (the thing that makes u itch ALOT) so not sleeping well and next woke at half 8. Went to get the boys and DS2's beautiful long wavy hair had been HACKED OFF by DS1. He had evidently got out of bed, into the lounge (same floor) climbed to get the scissors, gone back in the bedroom and hacked ds2s hair off!

DS2 has only ever had a trim and a fringe cut, he just doesn't suit short hair at all. he now looks like he has his hair growing back after some hideous illness and his podgy face combined with his lack of language make him look and sound like a 15 ish month old

Oh no! DS2 did this to himself last year but he did it with his Dads razor

oh no MOM dd1 is always wanting scissors to do dd2 hair (she is starting to get a littl emop now ) will go and hide them now whilst I remember

I was wondering ow you were, sorry to hear about itching cant wait to announcement soon (dont forget to put on jan 07 thread for us!!)

am being induced at 38 weeks they think...got another appt tomo! will link/post as soon as i can afterwards

Have spent lots of the day crying over DS2's hair! How daft is that??!! We had to go to town and he kept saying windy on my neck

DS2 has done this a couple of times to himself, when he was about 3 and then last year when he was 7. The second time, was a couple of days after he had his holiday haircut. He said the hairdresser had not cut it short enough! So he chopped it to the bone at the front and made two huge dents on top of his head around the middle. (This was two days before our holiday).

I had to rush him back to the hairdressers so she could sort of try and tidy it up.

The scissors are actually kept out of reach - but he is just like a monkey with his climbing!

its the hormones making you cry (I cried at everything and anything from 34 to 38 weeks when dd2 arrived!!!)

Cant wait to ear the happy news (and ds2 hair will grow back )

DS1 (7 yrs) tried to persuade me to let him cut my hair last night. When I said no he asked if he could cut my ear off instead so he could call me Lin (my name) VanGogh!! I was pmsl

I was v emotional when I was pg with DS3, so don't feel daft. Good luck with your forthcoming induction

he asked me to stick back on with sticky tape this morning

He's possibly feeling bad about it because he knows you are. It'll grow back in no time Mum, although having had my own fair share of awful haircuts I know what you mean.

Good luck with the OC - I had it with both of my sons - v boring!
I hate losing baby curls, but maybe you have been saved having to screw yourself up to have him shorn yourself!
