First Haircut

Two Fridays ago I was getting ready to drive to Salt Lake City to shop for bridesmaid dresses with my mother-in-law and my three sister-in-laws. My sister-in-law, also named Emily Bowman, is getting married this summer. After I flew home from that trip the following Sunday morning, we drove down to Disneyland Sunday night to vacation for the rest of the week. Needless to say, I had a lot of laundry and packing and various other things to do two Fridays ago, including an appointment to go visiting teaching, which I completely forgot about. Sara, if you're reading this, I'm still so sorry.

As I was in the shower Friday, I remembered that I needed to order Rebecca a ticket to Disneyland online because it was a lot cheaper. I knew as soon as I got out of the shower I needed to do that before I forgot and it didn't get done. I got out, put my razor on my bathroom counter so that I wouldn't forget to pack it with the rest of my bathroom stuff, and ran downstairs to buy the ticket before William could get mad. He was happy in his walker in my bathroom. After I ordered her ticket, I ran upstairs to get William to give him a bottle and put him down for a nap. He was pretty angry, but I thought it was just because he was tired.

After I put him down, I went into my bathroom to pack my bathroom stuff and found my razor looking something like this.

In case you can't quite tell, there were little red hairs all over it. Rebecca got my razor and decided to give her brother a haircut.

I also found little red tufts of hair all over my bathroom. I thought about what he had looked like when I gave him his bottle and put him down. I hadn't noticed any drastic change to his hair. I wanted to get him up to see what damage had been done, but I didn't want him to be a bear during the trip to Salt Lake, so I just sat imagining what his hair looked like.

After I got him up, I looked closely at his hair. I could see where she had taken out a few chunks, but it really wasn't too noticeable.

I had wanted to give him a haircut. I guess Rebecca was just trying to help me out. I finally gave him a haircut today. I tried to blend in all of the bald patches.
I really am grateful that she only cut his hair. This could have ended up a lot worse considering she used a razor!
