In Lieu of a Hand Mirror

Sadie often wants to see what the back of her hair looks like when I'm finished with it. We don't have a hand mirror to do that little trick with a stationary mirror; the only way she can see what the back of her hair looks like is for me to take a picture and then show it to her. Here are some I've taken this summer.

I'm not terribly proud of this one:

If I took the time to curl her hair sometimes, the results would be prettier. I just don't have that kind of energy right now.

We call this "triangle hair":

Smocking:

Star part puffy braid:

I've gotten all of these ideas from a blog called She Does Hair. The lady, Sue, no longer puts new styles on it, but she hasn't deleted any of it, so I still get on every day to come up with hair ideas. She also has a huge blogroll of other hairstyle blogs. I need to explore others. My friend, Apes, does amazing things with her daughter's hair. She goes to a blog called Girly Do's by Jenn.
If I ever get more ambitious, I might try some of the styles from there.

I love Sadie's hair. The color, the texture... it's gorgeous. Though, right now, she looks like an orphan. She's running around outside without having even gotten it brushed this morning. I'm a winner. It's been a hard day.

My bumb hurts.
