Lovely Mullet


Our girls are very passionate about wearing their pajama bottoms on their heads. It started with a Wee Willie Winkie hat obsession but then they realised that swinging one leg in front of each shoulder gave a pretty fair approximation of long hair and what little girl doesn't yearn for long hair? Unfortunately, whilst Andy and I undoubtedly make beautiful babies, they are not blessed in the hair follicle department. Our girls were gloriously bald until well past their second birthdays and even now the growth is slow and steady rather than copious. A few months ago Emily went in for a spot of self grooming which resulted in the confiscation of the paper scissors. She very cleverly chopped the middle of her fringe very short but I have to say it was straight and neat and if I had to choose better there than at the crown. We went for her third haircut (not third this year, third in her whole life!) this week and the hairdresser misguidedly trimmed the rest of her fringe to match the short bit so now she looks a whole lot worse than when we went in! I would say "never mind, it'll grow' but really when we have approximate growth rate of 2mm per month it looks like we'll be relying on the pajamas for a while yet......
