Emma's First Haircut

"Thanks for helping since Traci had a family emergency." Lindsai said to Jeff as they were outside with Emma and her friend, Phoebe, from mommy and me. Phoebe was three.

"It is not a problem. I like spending time with my niece." Jeff said as they watched Emma and Phoebe play.

"I am glad that you are here." She said hugging him.

"What's going on Miss Lindsai?" He asked her.

"I guess I have just been feeling alone lately." She said to him. "I miss you guys."

"Adam comes and visits Emma. She is his daughter." Jeff said.

"Yeah, I know." She said. She never admitted to anyone that Adam was Emma's father but she never denied it either. She just agreed with everyone. She couldn't bring herself to say to anyone that Adam was Emma's dad. She didn't know why she couldn't take that away from Chris.

"Mommy, hungry." Emma said walking up with Phoebe.

"Okay, let's go have some lunch." Lindsai said picking up Phoebe while Jeff picked up Emma. She knew from Emma that kids didn't like strangers, so it was best for her to get Phoebe.

They all headed into the house. Lindsai and Jeff put the girls down in the playroom and headed to the kitchen to make lunch. Lindsai turned on the baby monitor so, she could hear them.

"Emma, I gots scissors." Phoebe whispered to her.

"Yeah." Emma said back.

"Bathroom." Phoebe said pointing to the room across the hall.

The two girls walked to the room across the hall. Phoebe had the scissors in her hand. Emma sat down on the seat and Phoebe stood on the stool in there.

"Okay, Emma." Phoebe said to her. "Haircuts."

"K" Emma said back.

Phoebe started cutting Emma's blond hair just a little bit. Lindsai had finished lunch and was heading to the playroom to get the girls for lunch.

"Emma, Phoebe." Lindsai said walking into the playroom. She didn't see the two. She then headed to the bathroom. "Phoebe, Emma!" She screamed when she saw that Phoebe was cutting Emma's hair. She had cut some of the sides.

"Pretty." Phoebe said.

"Pretty, mommy?" Emma asked.

"Phoebe, you aren't supposed to play with scissors." Lindsai said taking them from her. "Where did you get them?"

"My sister." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe out." Lindsai said pointing to the door. "Go and sit on the sofa and do not move."

"Okay." Phoebe said leaving.

"Emma, you know not to play with scissors." Lindsai said looking at her daughter. "Okay, we are off to the salon to get this fixed."

She took Emma into the living room where Jeff was sitting with Phoebe. She couldn't believe that Phoebe had gotten scissors.

"Okay, girls, we are off to the salon." Lindsai said getting her things.

They were soon off to the salon. On the way, Lindsai had called Phoebe's mom and told her about things. She agreed to meet them at the salon to get Phoebe.

"Lindsai, I am so sorry about this." Jennifer said to her when she met them at the salon.

"You might want to find out where Phoebe got the scissors." Lindsai told her.

"I will." Jennifer said taking Phoebe and leaving.

"Okay, Miss Emma. Now, you get a professional haircut." Lindsai said as they walked into the salon.

The hair stylist took Emma and cut her hair to cover what was done. She managed to make Emma's hair look good.

"Thank you, Erin." Lindsai said to her.

"Not a problem Lindsai." Erin said. She and Lindsai had been friends for a while.

"Okay, Emma, let's go home." Lindsai said after paying Erin. She knew she would have to talk to Emma about this.

When they got home, they had lunch. Lindsai then took Emma into the living room to talk about this.

"Emma, you know that you aren't supposed to play with scissors." Lindsai said to her.

"Yeah." Emma said.

"Okay, no playing with Phoebe until you both can learn not to play with scissors." Lindsai said to her. "Understand?"

"Yeah." Emma said getting down and going to her playroom.

"Lindsai, she is two." Jeff said. "She didn't know it was wrong."

"She knew that scissors were a no-no." Lindsai said.

"These things happen." He said to her.

"I know." Lindsai replied. "But she needs to know that it is not okay to play with scissors, no matter who has them."

"Yes, mom." Jeff said hugging her.

"Thanks, son." Lindsai said. "You can't play with scissors either."

"No fair." He said going to the play room.

She laughed as he and Emma colored. It was a cute picture. She still couldn't believe that Phoebe had cut Emma's hair. Kids do anything for fun.
