Lesson learned?
So you know the 4 year old went all Sweeney Todd last week at daycare. We hoped she learned from it. Yes and no.
Saturday, her mom called D FURIOUS. Friday night, she heard the kids giggling (they suck at doing it quietly) and went to them. They both scrambled back to bed and of course, blamed each other for them being up. And the 7 year old told her mom that the little one was cutting the carpet. With a pair of scissors that she climbed on top of a bookcase to get to. ARGH! Thank god the bookcase didn't topple onto her. Thank god she didn't fall on top of the scissors!
Their mom checked the carpet... saw nothing.
Saturday by lunch, she figured out what HAD BEEN CUT. Her pajamas have slits in the legs. Slits, not holes. So their mom went ballistic, like I would have.
I was hoping the kid would see scissors and run away for a little while.
And we are FURIOUS with the 7 year old. She KNEW they shouldn't be up. And she KNEW her sister has scissors. And according to her, her sister had been cutting up the carpet, which she didn't say a WORD about until trying to deflect blame for being out of bad.
We decided to have a talk with her and ask her why she can tattle on her sister when the kid is being annoying, but NOT when it's a dangerous situation.
Argh. Good lord. This is why I never chose to have kids myself.. LOL.
Apparently, the 7 year old WAS upset when the little one cut the pajamas, or at least when she realized what the kid cut. Why? The pajamas used to belong to her and were her favorite pair. Well, I guess maybe if you cared that much, you should have told on her. Dingbat.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!

Re: Lesson learned?
Yep, Id lock every single pair up. I've had to do this with finger nail clippers, the kids are obsessed with them, try to use them to cut everything so now they dont know where they are & theres no way they could get them if they wanted them.
Oddly, the scissors were in a box on a shelf. Maybe she knew where they were, we don't know.
At home, they are sticking out of the knife block and they have never gotten them. Never tried.
The only thing we had to hide when I first moved in? Bandaids and pens. The kids used to write all over the walls when you left them alone for two seconds. And the oldest would cover herself in bandaids. LOL
I finally got to see the hair. Oh.My.God. It's awful. Worse than I thought from the pics of it.
Right around her forehead, it's about an inch long. The entire TOP of her head, all over, is about 2 inches long. We cannot do anything with it. No pigtails, no ponytail...nothing. She has to live with it like this.
It kills me. She looks like a boy.

The worst kid that I have seen with scissors is my BFF's cousins little girl. (Did that make sense?)
Little miss thing has whacked off her bangs so many times we lost count. She has even pushed up a chair to the counter, climbed up, and gotten to the scissors in a cabinet over the fridge!
I told her dad that he needed a gun safe and to lock the scissors in there. LOL
