Boundaries
Well, that was a rotten day. People said M would be testing the boundaries when she started schhol and I thought I was prepared for it, if a little unclear what exactly they meant.
Today, she cut off Tamsin’s hair. Then started on her own.
I am so sad; I love little T in bunches and now it will be months before she can have them again. It looks absolutely dreadful (here).
Obviously we didn’t go to the zoo, as we had planned. Cameron has gone to Germany (he was going anyway, he hasn’t gone there in a huff or anything) and I’m just feeling really low tonight. With an enormous to-do list for the week looming over me. No chocolate in the house either.

Short of safety scissors for cutting paper into a confetti like material we have been trying to keep Lauren away from Scissors.
Above my desk we have a shelf and all the scissors have migrated up there.
On Saturday Lauren climbed from my chair onto the desk and picked a pair of scissors off the shelf and then proceeded to cut up one of my letters (junk mail fortunately).
I later caught her in the bathroom standing on the loo seat and trying to get the “pink medicine” out of the cupboard. That has now migrated to the top shelf, although in theory she still has access to shaving foam and shampoo on the lower shelf.
The trials of parenthood continue!

I can’t have been much older than that when I did my sister’s – hid the hair down the back of the sofa cos we thought no-one would realise.
It’s probably not much consolation but it will grow back. Pixie crop in the meantime?

Oh dear. Poor Tamsin. Though as others have already said, she still looks lovely, bless her, and it will grow back, at least.
