These are a great set of photos. They tell a fun story...but what I really think about them when I look at them is "how the heck does she keep Mia's hair so smooth?" Aerin yoinks rubberbands out of her hair as soon as I get them in. She's been looking like a wild woman.
I don't know what other mama's do, but I dampen her hair, use a comb to scrape it into submission, and then lay on some hairspray to lacker it down real good. The end result lasts about an hour. I had JUST put her hair up in these photos. By the end of the day, she was looking less than manicured.
I think I need to get a comb, though. I've just been using my brush. And I haven't been able to find any of the bitty rubberbands either, though I'm told they exist. We have some clips that aren't age appropriate that do the best job, and by golly I'm going to keep using them. Such a rebel I am.
I've bought the teeny rubber bands at Wal Mart (in the infant/toddler section) and Target (same). I like Target's because they come separated in a neat little pill-minder box, according to color. This feature's useless, though, if your daughter gets her little mitts on the box and dumps it all out on the carpet.
Be prepared to lose a few strands of hair every time you remove the bands. They're kind of tough to get out if you wind 'em tight like I do. Someday, my daughter will regress to baldness and it will be my fault...
I'm a stay-at-home mom of three, always in pursuit of new ways to express my creative side. Theatre, music,photography, painting, scrapbooking, crafting, general shenannigans... Performing arts are especially dear to my heart...lucky me--every day reminds me that there will always be drama in my life!
Meet Connor. He's SEVEN. He's into science and technology, playing Nintendo 3DS, and creating things. His ideal vacation would be camping...at LEGOland.
This is Mia. She's FIVE. She also answers to "Mimi" and "Mouse." She is Daddy's princess, naturally.Goals include growing her hair as long as Rapunzel's and learning to tie her shoes before she's six. She also intends to remain five until she's six.
Here's Sawyer. He's the new guy in our family, but don't tell him that. He thinks he owns the place. He's probably right.
Beignet is our dog (named by our son, who loves doughnuts). She's a three-year-old shepherd/boxer hybrid with a heart of gold and a penchant for digging holes (unfortunately). She likes squeaky toys and walks, and hates squirrels and cats.

Hilarious.

That soothes my feelings a bit, then. :P
