a girlie girl...

without a doubt, this child has some of the craziest hair that i've seen on a little girl.  it just all grows straight forward -- it doesn't part anywhere like most hair.  hair clips are, therefore, a MUST...otherwise she can't see anything and she starts falling all over.  every time we need to put in a hair tie, it's a battle royale.  she hates it.  

or should i say, she hated it.  i'm wondering if we've turned a corner, because miss thang has a new appreciation for her hair accessories and wanted to wear every. single. one when we were playing the other day.  she was miss serious the entire time...didn't crack a smile.  i guess it was very important to her to have every hair band, tie, and clip nestled somewhere in her blonde hair.

pleaseohpleaseohplease let this be a new phase!  we fight through every diaper and outfit change, and i feel like i deserve a little relief when it comes to dressing this child.
