PiGtAiLs

Emily was a very happy girl this morning. Not only was she going to preschool (for the first time in a while because of sickness and snow), she was sporting pigtails. She's worn pigtails a couple times before, but this was different. These are lower. Last night she brought down a bracelet that came in a bunch of dress up stuff from her cousins Halle and Brooke. The bracelet had a cartoonish picture on it. She handed me two hair holders, and said, "I want my hair like the girl in the picture!" I could just picture her up in her room, going through all of her jewelry stuff and seeing that picture, and then going over to her basket, picking out the things I will need to fix her hair. It's just a cute thought. As I began to fix it like I had before, with the pig tails higher up on her head, she immediately said, "no, like the girl in the picture!" I had to look again, and I realized that they both had their pig tails lower. Okay!!! She was so proud when I was finished, and then today when I fixed her hair like that for preschool, she was so excited she had to show Daddy right away. She's such a big girl!!!
