Think Again

Now let me set the stage for you...I am not really a GIRLY-girl. This is not to say I am a 'tomboy' either. I like pretty things. I just think that pink is an OK color in small doses but is very highly overrated and overused in the material world. I feel the same about hearts. That being said...I have been anxiously waiting for my daughter to grow more hair so I can put some cute little bows in it.

Have you ever tried to lasso a greased piglet? Me either, but I think the experience would be comparable to trying to tie a bow in some very fine hair attached to a VERY wiggly baby. This photo is the result of my efforts. Yeah, it's cute, but I think I will wait to try again when she can hold her head still when I ask her to do so...like when she is 40 and I am too old to give a crap.

Now let me tell you something about my baby girl. I have never seen anything like it but she has the ability to make her eyes sparkle. I mean REALLY SPARKLE when she smiles up at me. It doesn't happen every time she smiles so when it does it is very special.

So I guess the moral of the story is that a sparkle in her eye is much more beautiful than a silly bow in her hair.
