I don't think I did!!
As you know I cut Ollie's hair myself a few weeks ago. Well it was starting to go fuzzy again so I set him down and got out the clippers. The clippers we have have guides with numbers... you know, a number 3, a number 1 etc. Well I couldn't find the guide I had used the last time (it had a little button that you press and it popped off the clippers easily), but there was a similar guide, the only difference being that it had no little button. I checked the number and went ahead with my cutting.
The first glide over his head and I was nearly sick! It was far far too short! What happened?! I checked the guide again and then looked at the numbers on the rest of the guides in the set. I realised my massive (but easily made) mistake. The number I was looking at was '3mm'. Not a 'number 3', which I had used the last time. After a bit of a search through the bag I found a guide that said "number 1 (3mm)". I felt so awful!!! I had no choice but to cut the rest of it or it would have looked ridiculous.
James was having a lie-in at the time so I took Ollie upsairs to give him a bath. As I was running the bath I audibly said "Ollie, you have to tell daddy not to be cross at mummy and tell him it was a mistake." James didn't mind. (James normally cuts his hair to a 'number 1' anyway) But I was so upset. I kept apologising to Ollie.
It was too raw and upsetting for me to post pictures a few weeks ago, but now that it is growing back, I think I would feel ok with you all seeing my bad mummy moment!!
Aww! I just cut my son's hair this past Monday and was terrified of a slip up but as I was doing it I thought to myself... its just hair! You're not a bad mommy - he looks cute and it will grow back in no time!
ReplyDeletehe looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt would upset me if I did this to one of my boys too. But your son looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteI would probably feel the exact same way but he still looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteHe does look adorable but I know the feeling! Not just with my kids but me too! (My last post was called "Bad Hair Day!")
