To Early to Shave?

Jo was in the bathroom washing her finger painted hands and decided to try and shave for the first time. We felt she really should have asked us how to use the razor first but she gave it her best shot alone.

No screaming or shock from the bathroom, just Jo walking out saying “Mama, look” and she pointed to her bloody chin. “Did you bump your chin Jo?”, ”No”. ”Did you fall off the counter?”, ”No”. ”What did you do Jo?” Oh the crying started then when I pulled off the paper towel and she saw the blood.

Wasn’t hard to figure out what had caused the cuts when I saw the razor sitting on the bathroom counter. Those Daisies are just not soft as the real ones, and can you tell we shave with dual razor blades?

We promised Jo that when she was older she would be taught how to use this tool properly and when that day came we hoped that she wouldn't have to use the razor on her face.

Ahhh...do you suppose it's the daisy design that draws little girls to those dangerous tools of necessity? So thankful that is all the worse it was! I love you, Jo Elizabeth!
