Shaving at the age of 3!!!
So, I go to pick up my kids last night from the inlaws and when I walk in, my brother-in-law informs me that my oldest (a three year old girl) had "an accident" today. I figured she might not have made it to the potty in time or spilled her drink on her or something of that nature. Not quite...she'd had a run in with a razor!!!
Yes, she had gotten in a drawer in the bathroom (why there were razors in there where she could get to them is beyond my comprehension anyhow)and gotten a razor out. She's seen her papaw shave, so I figure maybe she was copying him. But, she'd said something to me about putting make up on there. So, I haven't ruled out that she was using the razor as an applicator to put on make up. She used it in a sideways stroke and cut her forehead. She did manage to cut a thin line through her eyebrow, so I am assuming that she did a couple of strokes and the second one she cut and started bleeding and went and told her memaw. I don't know if they got on to her like I did. But, I was furious when I got there.
She immediately told me she didn't want to talk about it! (my how quickly they learn to avoid the issues!) I told her it was too bad. She said she didn't know she cut herself, so I took her in the bathroom and put her in front of the mirror and told her that she was never to touch a razor again!! (sorry, future husband)
I told her that she could have gotten cut and had to go to the hospital and they would have to put a needle in her face to sew her back up. She said, but mommy I didn't go to the hospital. I said, NO!!! BUT YOU COULD HAVE!!!
I told her she is not to go into the bathroom at memaw's house unless she has to go potty!!
I have had to put locks on my cabinets in the bathroom at home because she would get in there and play in the lotion, soap, hairspray, toothbrush, etc...
She thinks she needs to "smell good" or make her hair "like a princess". It was cute at first, and then it got aggravating having to clean her up and then clean up after her.
...oh the joys of motherhood. : )
I know, my journey has only just begun and then we have a little boy!! YIKES!!
