Abbey has always talked about wanting long hair. I advised her that she can have long hair when she learns to take care or it herself. Or at least let me brush it without a melt down. She had done neither so her hair remained in a short, but cute bob. Recently Abbey has been taking an interest in doing things herself. Like brushing her hair. I promise to let her hair get "longer" if she chooses to take care of it. Armed with a mommy brush and Suave detangling spray, Abbey took care of business. What can I say, she did well. As of this moment there is no hair cut appointment scheduled.. Good Job, Abbey.
My dearest Carina. I want to apologise to you. Please understand that no matter how hard I try to be a good mommy, I do make mistakes. One in particular was trying to cut your hair myself. You see, baby mullets and untrimmed bangs are bad. Even on someone as cute as you. I was just trying to take control of the situation without taking you out in sub zero weather. Within a few months time their should be no sign of this hair cut gone bad. And I promise, that in the future, I will leave all your hair cutting needs to a licensed professional.
Little Ellie was born bald. This child did not even have eye lashes or brows. I dream of the day I can run my fingers through her hair. Until then, I think she is just adorable with her little bit of reddish, brownish, blondish, fuzz. Still bald, but not as bald as she was 10 months ago. Now she has lashes and brows. And from that smile on her face, I am certain that bald is beautiful.
