"I wear a barrett."

When it comes to your hair Julia, it's not much fun these days. We waited two long years for your curly blonde locks and I never had the heart to cut them off...that is until today. On our walk this morning you complained of your head being hot, to which I said..."well a you can wear it up in a ponytail like me."

"No thanks, I can put it in a barrett." You replied with a little shoulder shake and a little noise out of your mouth. 

Most nights I have to chase you around the house to brush it. You refuse to wear it up in the pool. All the girls put a ponytail in for our excursion on the boat and I thought for sure you would, but you didn't. 

I'm not sure why, but hopefully it's just a phase. 

It's starting to lighten up again so i felt a little better about cutting last years blonde off. Hopefully cute ponytails with big bows will be in our future. For now I just need to be thankful you hair is curly and cute.

Here's the picture of your little locks...I won't be putting them in a baby book.
