She is Rapunzel no more

It was a pretty mellow Saturday, with Blake taking a nap Kylee and I were organizing her room and Brayden and Julia were playing quietly.

I went to throw something away in the kitchen trash and I saw this and there was a lot of it.

My heart dropped and I immediately thought Julia.  I called her down to see what the damage was.    Before she got there Brayden came and told me of an encounter he had with Julia an hour earlier.  He said he went downstairs to turn off the TV.  He then went into the kitchen and saw Julia looking at scissors.  Brayden asked her, "what are you doing?"  She responded, "NOT CUTTING MY HAIR."  Hmmm I wonder what she was doing.

Julia  had been talking to me a few days earlier that she wanted her hair to look like Rapunzel.  She was so sad when she found out that we were going to have to cut her hair to fix it.  Julia has soft and silky hair.  The hair stylist said "oh she has pretty hair" and she felt so bad that we had to cut it off.  She emphasized several times that she would need to cut all the way up to her shoulders (6 inches).

Julia added another activity to our to do list for that Saturday afternoon.  I was OK with spending a little extra money to have the other children entertained with video games, trains, legos, and a movie while we cut her hair.

She looks more like Kylee with the length and color.

My lesson learned - leaving scissors accessible to a 3 year old is not a good idea.
