A Story With Pictures

Can you believe Bridget's very first haircut was only a few days ago? It grew in so perfectly and curly - no crazy cowlicks (one word?) that she hasn't really needed any adjustments. It was, however, beginning to look scraggly (wow - blogger doesn't want to underline anything today). Bridget makes this terrified/shy face every time someone new tries to be her friend.

"I'm the saddest child in the world. Please, sir, may I have some more gruel?"

"I'm not sitting in a pink convertible watching a Barbie Princess movie right now. I am sad."

"This mean lady said I could have a balloon and a sucker after she cuts my hair, but I'm still sad."

"I ask my mama for 'blow dry' after every bath, but I'm not enjoying it right now. Not at all. Move, Mama, I can't see the Barbie movie. Did I mention how sad I am?"

"Look Mama! I got a balloon and a sucker and princess glitter in my hair! And Amy did blow dry and I watched a princess movie and I had my own car!" That is a direct quote. She seriously calls me "Mama" and she remembered that the person who cut her hair is named Amy. WHAT?!

Also, we did fancy sparklers while it was still light to celebrate our pioneer heritage last week.
That was after we lounged in Bridget's pool as a family. I'm sure the four families who can see into our backyard were thrilled. Especially the kids with swing sets who had a bird's eye view.
