So we sent Peter to bed last week in our room because the boys were being too crazy together. Which is a common occurrence in our house and not usually a problem. After Alan got Isaac settled he went to check on Peter and found him in the bathroom. Peter asked him how he liked his hair and at first glance all Alan could see was that he had gotten it wet and assumed he put hair gel in it. As he got closer though he noticed chunks of Peter's hair on the floor, and when he could see the top of his head there were 3 or 4 spots where he had essentially scalped himself.
I was downstairs feeding the baby and all I heard was "Oh no, what did you do Peter?" This is what I saw when they came down.
Peter's response was it's just hair, it will grow back....well, what do you say to that? I made him go to school like that hoping that maybe the reactions from his teachers and friends would help dissuade him to cut his own hair again. Then after school we went to get his hair cut. I still get a little sad every time I look at him, he looks like a totally different person! I guess I need to find him a good warm hat!

That reminds me of Alan. He was a "bald brother" at one time, but it wasn't his fault. Ally cut her hair at that age too. :)
Sad. But it will make for a good story when he's older.
