For months her hair wisped just below her eye brows. She would squint and brush it aside. I tried parting it different ways, different cute and fun clips and barrettes, I even tried headbands. Lilli just was not a fan. I tried using the little baby rubber bands that they sell in the baby section. They hurt her and she screamed within 5 minutes. (Dear Target, stop selling those, they suck!) So I tried my ouch-less ones that I haven't used since my hair was shorter and SCORE! Only she wouldn't keep them in very long, the interest lasted only as long as she could look in the mirror. Then I started calling them pony tails and pig tails. It's incredible what one little association to farm animals will do.
Ever since, every day when I put my hair up or brush it out, Lilli is standing right next to me waiting for her turn. "Tails? Pony? Pig? Tails?!" Usually putting the comb through her hair, making it harder to brush out. And when I'm not looking she tries to put a little hair mousse in it.
I'll say one thing, as exciting as it is to finally be able to do our hair together, I don't look forward to showing her how to use make up!
