When I got to thinking about Eliza and scissors, I remembered that she has a history of inappropriate snipping that goes beyond her own hair (and poinsettias).
Including, but definitely not limited to...
--The ties on my bedroom quilt. Two of them were snipped right down to the little knots. I didn't even ask if it was Eliza. I just know. Without a shadow of a doubt. It's got her name written all over it.
--The princess pillowcase I sewed for her. (During the first week of her ownership, she cut the entire corner off. Why? "So I can see the pillow through it, Mom!"

--Some parts of pictures. Do you recognize this one? (It's the after Eliza version.)
Here's the before Eliza version.
--Jewels. One of Eliza's very favorite past times is "making jewels" which means drawing colored circles on paper and cutting them out individually for collection in a jar. Here are pages of her jewels waiting to be cut out.
Also, have I ever mentioned that half of this blog is going to have to be deleted when Eliza learns to 1. read and 2. surf the internet? In the meantime, I consider it therapy for me.

HA!!! That girl is so crazy! I LOVE the jewels thing, how hilarious! Jacob went through a similar phase, only it was things like coins and money. That picture with Jesus cut out is one of a kind!
Oh my goodness, I'm cracking up. She just cut Jesus right out of the picture?! That's funny. And I love your ending notes. . . but don't delete it completely, save a hard copy to pass on to her when her own daughter learns to use scissors! Good thing she's darn cute- even after cutting her own hair.
