Dear Adeline---

My sweet Adeline,

I can’t write about this time of your life without mentioning your hair.  It’s crazy.  I know when you are 15, you are going to look back on pictures and say, “Mom, what were you thinking?!?”  Sweetheart, I just don’t know what to do with it.  If I cut it short, I am afraid you will miss having pigtails and “girly hair.”  I thought letting it get a bit longer may give it a little weight and control the volume a bit.  You won’t let me just put a barrette in it to keep it out of your eyes.  It seems to be getting curlier as it gets longer.   You are complimented on it a lot, but sometimes the compliment comes with a chuckle because your hair is just crazy!  The back is lovely, but the front can get a little “fro like” if I don’t put it back.  I hope you always know… you are beautiful.



I love you,

mommy

You know I love it! It is stinkin cute! Especially the calic on her left side. Ella's hair is getting curlier as it grows longer. We often put it in a ponytail because I dont' know how to handle the "fro". Just hang in there, it will grow longer. Be patient though, I'm learning that curly hair takes forever to grow long!
