Hair Dos

As mentioned in previous entries, Reese's hair is getting long pretty quick. It has, unfortunately, reached an awkward stage where it's constantly in her eyes but it still to short to do much with. Two weeks ago, I made an attempt at pig tails. The first trick was getting Reese to sit still for the procedure. My solution was to put her in her high chair with some crayons. She wasn't exactly still and cooperative, but at least she couldn't run away from me. After a few squirms and some major effort on my part, I had completed two semi-aligned pig tails. In reality, her pig tails are pseudo-mullet pig tails: from the front they look presentable, but from the rear you can see that the hair on the nape of her neck isn't long enough so it hangs down in between. Oh well. We've made the pigtails a part of our hair routine now and she's sported them at least once a week since. Some days they make it through the day, on others she pulls them out at the first chance she gets. (Then she REALLY has hair issues since the previously pinned up hair stays stuck up on either side of her head. I'll have to get a picture sometime.) Until our next hair experiment, enjoy the photos of Reese with her new do.
