The HAIR

Many have commented on Stella's hair - I have commented on Stella's hair.  She has beautiful ringlets in the back.  So . . . the problem is that she NEVER wants me to touch, wash, spray, brush, comb, place a bow in - nothing is allowed without a fight or a chase around the house.  I know you may think I am exaggerating, being a bit melodramatic.  I wish I were.  I literally am running behind her with the conditioning spray to try & tame her hair.  It's like someone chasing down a mosquito to spray the repellant.  It is NOT a pretty sight. She laughs hysterically until I get a hold of her, and then laughter turns to screams.  Her hair does look good a bit disheveled, but it is always more than a bit disheveled.  Maybe if I were a hair person, maybe if I knew more about curly hair, maybe if I had one child, maybe if I thought this would be good exercise, maybe if I was an extremely patient person, maybe . . .

All of this preface to say, I cut her hair.  Not me, I'm not that ambitious, but I took the three oldest to a salon.  Abi & Jillian got basic trims - Stella, well.  A picture says more than I can describe.

  I admit it turned out a bit shorter than I anticipated.  Arturo was a bit upset that all of her curls were gone.  I am happy.  I am sigh with relief when I look at her short hair, and know that the chase (at least over her hair) is through.  At least until it grows back.  God help me then. I think it is cute, and I am hopeful that by the time it does grow back she will be excited to have gorgeous curly hair, and I will know a bit more about controlling it.  

Here is a cute video of Stella feeding Chloe.
