Hair cuts

I thought Megan or Josh might do a post on Isabella's hair cut, but they didn't. Megan decided to cut Isa's hair a little bit since it's summer and also Isabella isn't so much into letting Megan fix her hair. First, Megan got the scissors and comb out and set them on the coffee table. She went and started doing laundry or something which left Isabella and I in the living room watching TV. I saw her go and get the scissors and comb, but didn't really think much of it. She started combing my hair which was fine and just as Megan was rounding the corner, I hear a small but deafening snip. My hair is really long and I'm totally freaked out about cutting it. I thought maybe she just cut above my hair. Megan ran over and took the scissors and starting fussing at Isabella. Isabella defended herself by saying, "I was just pretendin'! I was just pretendin'!" Megan pulled the cut lock of hair out of my ponytail and said, "Look at this! You weren't pretending you really cut her hair!" It was a little traumatic at first, but so far I haven't been able to tell where she cut. I'm too lazy to straighten my hair right now, so who knows what it will look like then.

Anyway, back to Isabella's hair cut. Megan videotaped some of it, so I'll try not to give too much away. I told her to start in the middle so it would be easier to make sure she was cutting it evenly. She did, but she forgot to make sure that Isabella's head was level. Isa was watching TV so her head was looking up pretty high. As a result, Isabella's hair is a little more the length that Megan wanted it and a couple inches shorter than Josh wanted it. It's still adorable as you can see in the pictures on Josh's blog.
