Lost in Laundry

Monday, April 21, 2008

Lauryn has randomly been calling me "Ma" this afternoon. And since she's wearing pigtails today, I keep having thoughts of Laura from Little House on the Prairie....

I don't much like this "Ma" business. But if she keeps it up I'll train her to call her Daddy "Pa" so we can keep it equal.

Lauryn has been wearing pigtails a little more often now that I have let go of my obsession that the part in her hair has to be PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. Pigtail construction used to be a misadventure that left both mother and daughter in tears. After much struggle, I'd get them in, then see that the part in the back veered slightly to the left and we'd have to start all over again. It was ridiculous really. But as you can see from the wavy line down the middle of her head, and the strands of hair falling around her face, I've let go of the need for pigtail perfection. We're all much happier.

Blair Family had this to say:: Too Cute!

I had to let that obsession go too. Now Bailey does not like anything in her hair. She always pulls it out. This is something new that I have to get over. I think I am just going to have to get her hair cut so she can wear it down. Oh the joys of little girls:); April 21, 2008 at 7:31 PM

Sweet Yet Sassy had this to say:: I won't lie. I cringed a little when I read this:

'let go of my obsession' that the part in her hair has to be PERFECTLY STRAIGHT.

(sighs) I still can't let it go.
