"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."

Last weekend, Maddy thought it was a great idea to cut her hair! I didn't notice it at first but when I did...I nearly lost it! As I began undoing her ponytails I could feel my temperature rising. I couldn't believe that she decided to butcher her hair.
One part of me wanted to cry while the other part wanted to laugh uncontrollably. Crazy, I know. She didn't have an answer as to why she did it. (Which upset me even more.) In a moment of frustration, I called my mom to vent and she quickly reminded me, that I too, decided to give myself my first haircut.
So I guess its true, history repeats itself, lol!

Parents, you are not alone. So if you find yourself in a similar situation there are a few things you can do.
1. Access the damage and see how much of the hair can be salvaged. In my case, she took out a lot of her temple. So it was bang life for us!
2. Decide if you can fix or you need a professional. I'm very picky when it comes to my children's hair so I opt to fix things myself. If you're not brave enough check out a local Walmart, they usually offer haircuts for children for under $12.
3. Choose hairstyles wisely! Sure we know it's their fault but you don't want your child looking completely crazy!
