Lydia didn’t have a nap today. We kept her awake through dinner, but she fell asleep during the First Presidency Christmas devotional. She woke up after the devotional when Kyle was trying to transfer her to her bed. Now she is WIDE AWAKE. Kyle asked her why she is so wide awake, and then said “I’m not going to get any sleep tonight am I?” Lydia answered with “Are you sick?”

Kyle went to the freezer to get out some ice cream, and took Lydia with him. She came back with a bag of chips saying “Mommy! I got you some chips” So I took them from her and she suddenly freaked out and said “Hey those are mine!”

She is just wide awake and that nap has her so refreshed and bright eyed. Of course Kyle and I are totally ready to go to bed, but we’re wondering when that’s going to happen…

Kyle got everything set up to give Ethan a haircut after church today. Ethan hates getting his hair cut and they have made a deal that Ethan can play on the ipad as long as he is in the chair getting it cut. So Ethan was playing on the ipad, and Kyle was quite intent watching the game, and Lydia was saying that she wanted a haircut too. While Kyle was watching Ethan play, Lydia pushed a chair over to the counter next to them where Kyle had put the hair cutting supplies, and she reached for the scissors. I was on the other side of the room and when I realized what Lydia was doing I called out to Kyle to stop her, since she was within arms reach for him. He looked up, and just as he realized what was happening, she snipped! She snipped off the her hairdo that I had put in for church, and that meant that she snipped off just about everything she had on the top of her head. 🙁

As soon as she realized what she had done she was upset that it happened.

Now she is going to need another haircut to fix this one, and she cut so much off the top that we can’t just fix it by giving her bangs. She will probably need a pixie cut or something else along those lines. 🙁
