Tessa gets "groomed"

This was way back in June the first real day after school was out.

It became very apparent that there was a desperate need to cut Tessa's hair.  She couldn't walk on the linoleum because she kept slipping on her hair.  She was having trouble eating and you couldn't see her eyes most of the time. 

So after researching it out I purchased a hair clipper that was small enough and charged it up.  Then I sat down with Caleb to help and we began to give her a hair cut.

She hated it. She hated the clippers, she hated the scissors, she hated the pulling on the hair to cut it. She hated it all. Three long hours, aching back and covered with hair she looked like a dog again. It wasn't perfect, I was trimming when I could sneak it in for a couple days afterwards but she looked much better.

Caleb even fell asleep.

But doesn't she look cute?!?  A little scrawny... ok a lot scrawny, but cute.

This is what she thinks of those scissors.

Not to fear...

That haircut lasted for 3 whole months.   And we just did it again a week ago and it only took an hour.  She still hated it but it only took an hour.
