Teeny Tiny Ponytails

Eleri's hair is finally growing out from the super-short pixie cut I inflicted on her back in the spring. In fact, it is just long enough that we're back to the same problem that led to the twiggy look: a big rats nest at the back, which she does not want combed. I was planning to get her hair trimmed down a bit, when all of a sudden Eleri started wanting her hair done up in pigtails. The inspiration? Clio, naturally. Clio rarely wants anything done with her hair, but last week she had pigtails, and then yesterday she requested two braids. When Clio gets her hair done, Eleri insists on having hers done, too.


We call these "teeny, tiny ponytails" which you must say in a high, squeaky, teeny-tiny voice.

Dave walked Eleri out the door the other day and turned back to say "she looks like a tiny little ninja."

You know what? She often acts like one, too.

I do think she looks different with her hair back like this. She's gotten much taller, too, and suddenly she looks like a kid, not so much a toddler.



It always sneaks up on you, doesn't it?
