Molly's buddy
Sadie has some beautiful brown locks that are long enough to put up in two legit pigtails (I can't even address my jealousy for Molly's friend, Kate, who has had thick, long, styleable hair for at least six months. I really can't go there). Molly's buddy Sadie actually lets her mom put up her beautiful brown locks in barrettes and bows and headbands and elastics. Sadie's buddy Molly has just grown three wisps of hair that might be considered long enough to put up in any contraption. Sadie's buddy Molly does not let her mom put up her hair in any of the barrettes or hair clips that she has collected. Molly's mom is very jealous of Sadie's mom because she thinks it would be fun to be able to have hairstyling hour in the morning. Come to find out, however, she will allow Grammy to "style" her hair. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I now present you with Molly's first hair accessory photos (or at least those since she has been old enough to reject the mullet wigs and headbands that I forced on her when she was more wee). It wasn't a straightforward project, there were lots of other activity detours along the way, but the point is that she has hair clips in her hair! And they stay there on their own!
This is the mom block to the noggin. Can't get near the tendrils.
Now that the hair clips are in, actually getting Molly to leave them in and stand still is virtually impossible. I think it took about twenty shots for all the stars to align and get a picture.
But there were some proud as a peacock moments for someone...
interspersed with the suggestion to walk on tiptoes (new favorite game where Molly can announce that she has done an excellent job)...
and a little shimmy shake in there too (preferably on tiptoes). Molly is blessed with two great dancers in both her grandmothers (probably in her grandfathers too but I haven't seen that as much). Her grandmothers both indulged her dancing queen side when they were here and it's a great way to get the wiggles out and to distract from anything, say, in her hair.

Molly with a bow = precious. Sadie will share some of her sitting still tricks with Molly when she sees her in a few weeks. They do, however, involve being strapped down in a seat and watching Elmo....
Adorable! Thanks for that - made me smile. :-)
Classic. I'm in the same boat as you - the only way I can convince Hannah to wear a barrette is if I wear one too (and in the case of this past weekend my Mom also had to sport a lovely green clip with pink flowers). Someday we'll curse having to "do" hair in the morning!
so much for having someone else around here with a hair deficit.
So freakin adorable. She looks like such a little lady! Adam has enough hair to style - you can practice on him when you're here.
Erin and Megan almost never let me do it, but both you and your mom could always get stuff in their hair. And yes, to what Kate said, some days the morning hair battle makes you wish for a buzz cut! Evan will be buzzed...as soon as he grows enough to buzz, that is.
