Just quickly....
Oh Mel!!!!! Agggghh! I know I know! Been there! Verity did the same thing when she was about 4. Attacked her fringe... lucky it wasn't too bad and she was wearing headbands to cover it for ages too.... it's so hard not to loose the plot!I did too but ended up apologizing to her because it occurred to me that it wasn't done out of defiance, just curiosity. It you are game enough to post a piccy I could see what could be done... I think she will eventually understand the semi permanent nature of doing it soon enough too... the penny dropped with Verity after about 2/3 days and she got quite upset. I think nearly all girls try it... she's unlikely to do it again if that's any consolation! In the meantime have a lovely meal out tonight... and/or have a Mother's Helper to soothe your nerves! (the glass of wine I have whilst cooking dinner - witching hour- for the uninitiated LOL)
ETA: Speaking of Verity: OMG I am so proud of her! She was part of a state-wide standardized exam for reading, writing, spelling ans maths (an AIMS exam). And the results have been mailed to us. Her results were graphed according to national bench-mark, state average, expected average and the equivalent year level. I was pleased to see that she performed well above the national bench mark and the state average in all subjects except maths where she was spot on average. She is writing at above year 8 level!!! (she is in year 7) She is also well above expected level for spelling! And here I thinking that she was struggling a bit this year! Maybe it's just relative (there are a lot of high achievers at her school)... anyhow, with the final installment of her school fees due soon i am at least able to pay them knowing that we are getting our money's worth!!!I'll reward her this weekend somehow
