Unfortunately it wasn&#8217;t a planned hair cut.  To make a long story short, Milo decided that Keri&#8217;s hair was in her eyes and to help her out he cut it.  When Jaime noticed that Keri&#8217;s hair was cut I immediately turned to Niah.  Then to Afton, then Alix.  Finally I looked at Milo.  He had that sheepish grin.  I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh but still tried to make it clear that we don&#8217;t cut anything but paper.  I&#8217;m still shocked that it was him.  But I also feel bad I automatically thought it was Niah!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_1279.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_1279-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"img_1279\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1989\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>[If you can get past the cuteness of this picture you can kinda see how her hair falls in her face.

She was invited by  her friend Katie to go swimming at the local Cabana Club.  She had so much fun.  Unfortunately, I wasn&#8217;t home when she left and therefore was unable to verse her in the proper care of long hair in a swimming pool.  When I got home from whatever it was I was doing (really I can&#8217;t remember), her hair looked like this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_1472.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_1472-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"img_1472\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1991\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>[Can you tell how big the knot is?]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It was really late but I started picking at it.  After 5 minutes with no luck I asked Jaime what she wanted to do.  Have me pick at it for the next 2-3 hours, or cut it and be done.  She was exhausted and it was already 9:30pm and she opted to cut it.  I called my good friend Camille to borrow some hair cutting scissors and she made a few suggestions (mayo, oil, LOTS of conditioner).  After another 20 minutes and still not much progress I called Camille back and she said to come and bring Jaime with me.  So off I went.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_1471.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/img_1471-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"img_1471\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1992\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>[Here is how long Jaime&#8217;s hair has gotten.]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>When we got to Camille&#8217;s Molly was there too and the two of them went at it.

The young women wore roller skates and took our orders and delivered our food.  So fun!  Milo had 5 doctor appointments.
