OH SH!T

Okay, so I have been thinking for a few days now that Quinn was in need of a haircut. It was my job to cut his hair when it needed to be done with scissors, when it was too thin to just run clippers through it, but since it has thickened up it has been Travis who has kept it short. Well, Travis was at the grocery store tonight, when I decided that I should just hurry and get it done before it was time for Quinn to go to bed. I haven't been that involved in the hair-trimming process lately, but really, HOW HARD COULD IT BE?? I got the clippers out of Travis' drawer, strapped the kid in his booster seat, and gave him a sucker (the usually prep for cutting his hair)...

I turned on the clippers and ran them straight back down the middle of his head. And then I dropped the clippers and kinda screamed. I HADN'T PUT THE ATTACHMENT ON THE CLIPPERS!! MY KID HAD A BALD STREAK RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER OF HIS HEAD!!

I freaked out and I grabbed the phone. I called and told Travis what I'd done and said, "WHAT DO I DO?? WHAT DO I DO??" Well, of course there is nothing I could do, so I got the camera, took a few pictures, and then finished off the ABSOLUTE DISASTER.

When it was over I carried Quinn into the bathroom and showed him his reflection in the mirror. His hand immediately went to his head and he said (wide-eyed), "Wow." Since then he has also muttered things like, "Gone," and "Ohhh," while rubbing his bald little (big) head. Baby Boy, MOMMY IS SO SORRY!! WE WILL GET YOU NEW HATS TOMORROW!!

Does anyone know how long it takes for a little boy's hair to grow back?
