It seems my kids seem to get into the most trouble when I am on the telephone. A few weeks ago after being on the telephone for awhile, I turned around and was shocked to see my 2 year old sporting a new haircut that she had given herself.. I couldn't believe she cut her hair! I couldn't decide if I should laugh or cry. In the meantime while Amelia was getting in trouble, her older brother was pretty quite. I kept asking him why he didn't tell me she was doing it. As I kept looking at her new do, I realized that there was no way a 2 year old could have cut their hair so short, especially in the back. Come to find out, Fischer, her older brother did it! So of course, I said "What were you thinking?" I never got an answer to that one.
I found this weeks challenge at Mixed Media Monday very difficult. I almost didn't do the challenge. I had a hard time trying to illustrate my story. I made so many different sketches of it and nothing was working. My brain kind of hurt on this one! Initially I had a boy and a girl in the drawing but I couldn't get it to work right. I'm still not totally happy with it, but sometimes you just have to move on. Not everything works out.
I included a before and after picture of Amelia. She looks like a little Dutch boy now. No tears were shed on my part, it's only hair. Luckily though, it will grow back.

Gorgeous collage
Great piece!
I love your artwork. Hopefully you will all be able to laugh about it once the hair grows back.
I think the new cut suits her! Perhaps your son will be a hairdresser when he's older. I think your illustration is very cute. It's funny how you always know your children are up to mischief when they grow quiet!!
Very cute! I had a similar incident with my 5 yo and his 3 yo cousin. "What were they thinking?" Nothing! They were just playing!
I love, love, love it!! My son did the same thing--but after his "bangs" were all sheared off, he went into the sweater that he was wearing, and yes you illustrated it perfectly!!
Very great piece.
Big smile!!!
Funny interpretation of the theme! Wonderful!
Oh, Tammy what a story! That's one thing I escaped with my children - although we did have a chewing gum in hair incident, grin! Who knows, Fischer might grow up to be a fabulous hair stylist! I think you did a wonderful job of illustrating the situation - and after all, Amelia did get the blame initially, LOL.
Such a cute story,thanks for sharing,she's adorable either way. but I would have cried but then again it is kinda funny. Perfect story and art for the theme!
I know a girl who did this too hahaha ;)
Your piece is real great and so funny!!
i think your sketch is perfect...and I do love her new hair do....I've lost count the number of times I've been thru this!
Love your piece and your little cutie is precious, love her new hairdo! I remember going through this with my girls - funny we all have an inner desire to be hairdressers! Cheers!
