Gum vs. Peanut Butter ... Who will win?

Yesterday, Braelyn came out of her room pouting. I figured it was just one of the hundred times she gets up trying to avoid her nap. Nope...THIS is what I saw when she made it out to me:

Braelyn managed to get gum in her hair. She said she was going to throw the gum away and her hair got in her mouth. In my mind, I was thinking, "What? Your hair just jumped in your mouth?!"

My first thought was that I was going to have to cut her hair. I've secretly been wanting to do that anyway. It's long...it's tangly...and she eats her hair. Ugh!

But, I didn't cut it. My baby girl wants to be like Rapunzel, so I had to find a way to get the gum out. I went to the pantry and pulled out the ol' trusty jar of peanut butter. Braelyn thought it was crazy that I was massaging peanut butter into her hair, but after a few minutes the gum came loose and we were able to wash it all out.

Her hair has been restored to its original beauty. Peanut butter wins! All is right with the world again. :)
