Our girls are all eager to be independent. Ellie's favorite phrase is, "No! I gonna!" Lexi likes to make her own breakfast. Vicki likes to do her own hair. She likes it so much that we had to come up with a compromise: she does her hair on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and I get the other days. That way she gets to practice, but she still looks, well, tidy - at least part of the week. Yesterday was Tuesday and she was feeling especially creative.
The thing is, no matter how...interesting...her hair looks, I still think she's beautiful.
That's awesome. You're such a cool mom letting her do her own hair half the time. I'm glad you got your own blog up and running now. I added a link to it on mine. What an entertaining way to keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what Vicki does when she gets older. I'm sure it will be amazing. As for children doing their own hair and choosing their own clothes- Once I had a mom apologize after school for how her daughter looked that day. The daughter had insisted on dressing herself. To be honest, I didn't even notice that she looked a little off that day! To me, if they are impeccably dressed, then there's too much control at their house. :)
