Hair

Olivia is two and a quarter now, and it has taken that long for her hair to grow to such lengths that it can be pulled up or back. YAY!
My jubilation comes from a childhood spend with shocking hair cuts - all short - and most humiliating of all, being constantly mistaken for a boy (oh the shame!!!!).
Olivia's little piggy tails managed to stay in for a good 3 hours before they were pulled out, but previous attempts at pulling her overgrown fringe back with pretty clips, sees them yanked out within seconds - and she looks so cute!
So with regret, I am resigning to the idea that I will have to cut her hair, particularly the fringe, which hangs in her beautiful big blue eyes.
Olivia is not a tomboy. She likes her dolls and doll stroller, her jewelry box and its contents and her pink things, but she is not a full on girly girl either, and likes to play with a broad range of things which is a nice balance. Maybe there is hope for long hair in this household, she might just be curious about those "things" stuck on her head. Fingers crossed......
