Nathan's hair has reached the point where I just had to intervene. So, I sat him in front of the the computer (distraction) and began to chop away.

I don't do precision work; I just want to see his eyebrows and ears, and the basic shape of his head (he is SOOOO cute it's unbelievable!) Well, there I was, snipping hair from around his left ear, snip, snip, *SNIP*. OMG!! That last snip felt *different*.

I snipped my sweet little boy's ear!!! He didn't flinch or utter a sound. I realized what I had done, and did a lot of apologizing while I grabbed a cloth, and he said, with tears in his eyes, "I'm all right." Then it began to hurt. Poor little guy. It wasn't a huge cut, but it was enough. There was plenty of blood, and I swear, I can still FEEL that *snip*. Ugh!

I hope I'll be able to cut his hair again someday, or he'll let a professional do it.

BTW know this doesn't REALLY make me a bad mommy. I'd be a bad mommy if I didn't care, or worse, if I did it on purpose.

His objection is that I'm coming near his ear. But aside from that, neither of my kids will let me put "stuff" on them.
