Did you hear weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from my house this morning? If you heard strange noises it was probably Camille crying, screaming and carrying on about her hair.She is growing her hair out for Locks of Love www.locksoflove.org and is only an inch or two away from her goal. In the meantime, she only wants her hair done 1 way - straight and in a headband. I get tired of her coming home from school with her hair in a headband and looking stringy. So we came up with a solution. She chooses 1 day how she wants her hair and I choose the next day how I want her hair. As you can see, today was not her day to choose!
Camille: I look weird!
Me: No you don't - you look cute.
Camille: I don't want to look cute! Babies look cute and I am NOT a baby!
Me: Well, I think you look really pretty today.
Camille: I do not look pretty. I look like I have ropes in my hair and I am NOT going to school!
Me: Get your backpack....let's go to school.
Camille: When I am a mommy I will NEVER EVER make my little girls have braids, ponies, piggies, or curly hair (a spoiled baby hair-do as she calls it.)
Me: Well the good news is that tomorrow is your day to choose how you want your hair.
Camille: Straight and in a headband!
I really admire her dedication to grow her hair out for another child even though she HATES having long hair. She's getting close!!

She really does look darling.
ugh.
Too cute! I have this conversation with Kymber almost on a daily basis. She thinks long hair is beautiful even if it is full of tangles and dirty. I know I am an old lady, but I think her hair looks cute in braids!
You meanie mom ; )! I think it looks cute. Why does she say only babies wear it like that? I see adults wearing those kinds of braids all the time, even people on t.v. I do have to say, my mom would want to put a bun in my hair and I would cry. I hated it! When my step daughter would ask for one I told her no because I don't like them. You are probably scaring her for the rest of her life. But isn't that what moms are for : )?
