Bad Hair Day
In our guided reading book room, there is a little corner on a low shelf dedicated to bad hair days. Two stacks of books sit side by side, both containing stories about little girls who have terrible haircuts. In one of these stories, it is in fact the girl's mother who is to blame for the botched trim, and she ends up being rescued by a hairdresser and a trendy bob.
No such luck for my daughter.
Last night I got scissor happy during bath time. My daughter was contentedly playing with her fish shaped stacking cups, wispy bangs trailing in her eyes. How hard can it be, I thought to myself. I recently saw a clip of a girl cutting her own bangs - a little twist, a snip, and voila! Cute, effortless style.
So in I went: twist, snip. And now I my baby girl has the same haircut as a Franciscan monk. Definitely effortless, thankfully she's still adorable, but seriously lacking in the style department. Sadly she won't get the storybook happy ending; there is simply not enough hair on the rest of her head to salvage what I have done. Every time I look at her I feel equal parts guilt and the desire to giggle uncontrollably. My husband is thoroughly enjoying using my failure against me.
But here are some lessons learned from this experience:
1. A twenty year old model cutting her own hair is not the same as you cutting your baby's.
2. When it comes to hair cutting, less is more.
3. These things are probably best left to professionals.
4. Hats on babies are always a good idea.
5. Hair grows (I hope...)

Massage Musings...
I feel super awkward and naked right now.
Is my neck supposed to be scrunched like this?
I am really into this panpipes relaxation music.
Would it be weird to listen to spa music not at a spa?
Ooh the masseuse has lovely warm hands.
My circulation is really bad.
I can't wait for her to start working on my back.
That is weird that my right foot is tight.
I suppose the tension in my right shoulder is spreading downwards?
This feels like it's lasting a lot longer than twenty minutes.
OH MY GOD that feels good.
Ow, but that is a sore spot.
I hope everything is okay at day care.
What if there's an emergency and I don't pick up because I'm here.
Why would there be an emergency?
I don't usually check my phone during the day anyway.
But what if...
Oh wow, I really need to do this more often.
I wish I could remember this lady's name.
I have definitely been here for a lot longer than twenty minutes.
Oh no, she's stopping!
Hmm, feeling awkwardly naked again.

Mmm this blanket is really cozy.
