Julie's Boggle

I have to admit, even if I say so myself, that I’m very pleased with Jessica’s updated fringe (above right).  It’s been driving me a little crazy for ages now but cutting it is such a performance that I’ve been putting it off for weeks.  I strongly debated trying to get her to a hairdresser’s but I’ve yet to find one with the special gift of dealing with children in Durham (except for the barber who does Jonathan!) and without that, dealing with a wriggly under-2 is just too painful to watch!

In the end, I did my familiar trick of getting her into her high-chair with a pile of potential distractions nearby and attacked her thick fringe with my home-hairdresser scissors.  Jess was, as usual, unimpressed and despite my wetting the hair, soon had little bits all over her face and (somehow) stuck to her tongue.  At this stage she started to gripe and swat the scissors away and it was just luck that I’d managed to get enough off, and roughly feathered, and in a straight enough line, to leave it be.  Whew!
