Check out my scissor skills!

I have gave my first haircut! I am so proud of my talent, however mom and my puppy Omar aren't sharing in my excitement. I have been working on my cutting skills and using scissors. I was sitting at the table safety scissors in hand and snipping away at paper strips. I like doing an activity where I snip off paper and put the scraps into a box that has a picture of a bird on it with an open mouth. I can put the paper scraps into the bird's mouth(there is a hole also cut into the box) and feed the bird as I snip. So, I am sitting there and mommy and I hear a crash. Mom takes off to investigate and it turns out that two of my pugs Ozzy and Brutus have provided me with a mommy distraction. These are great moments to get into things that normally I wouldn't have a chance to explore. I knew that I had to work fast, mom doesn't stay gone for very long. I got down out of my chair and found Omar beside the table. I looked at my favorite puppy and thought he was looking a bit overgrown and glanced at the scissors in my hand, the light bulb went off! I got to work quickly, a snip here, a snip there, snip, snip everywhere. When mom came back she found Omar and I together on the floor and pug fur beside him, I was grinning ear to ear. She checked to make sure we were both ok, and I was firmly reminded that scissors are for paper not for pug hair or Alyssa hair. I am not sure, but I think she may have hid them from me. Omar has forgiven me and we are friends again, ready for our next adventure. Here is a picture of Omar's haircut, note his puggie hair on the floor and some of us together, he even played dressup with me and wore my shirt.
