Red Hair

I think Emma may be tired of the blonde look and trying to change it. Yesterday she made two attempts to dye her hair red, neither of them was very successful. Her first attempt was shortly after we got home from the library. The kids were eating their reading reward - big red blow pops. I was working on making lunch. Soon i heard from the family room little whimpering from Emma and Morgan saying "Hold on Emma. Hold on." I went to check things out and found Morgan tugging with all his might to get his lollipop out of Emma's hair. It was tangled in pretty good and stuck tight. After a lot of twisting and tugging i got it out. Morgan ended up with a hairy lollipop and Emma ended up with one side of her hair turned red.
Later we were all enjoying quiet time. Emma was starting to get antsy and wanting to come out. I had just turned on another story CD for her and was back out in the kitchen. I heard her start crying. I very calmly and slowly walked back to her room wondering what silly thing she was sad about now. I found her laying on the poof chair with blood running down her arm and from her forehead into her hair. She had attempted to climb the cabinet to get a vase full of paper stars. The heavy vase fell on her head and caused an owie with lots of blood. It was our first big bleeding head injury. We got it cleaned up and luckily did not need to go into the doctor. For the second time in the day Emma had red hair on one side of her head. Hopefully she will give up her dreams of red hair or at least find an easier way to dye it.
