We crossed an important milestone today. Joy's bangs are finally long enough to pull back into two ponytails. Look how cute she looks. She would not smile and say cheese. She thought she was so tricky when she ran away! I dedicate this post to Joy's favorite aunt who loves to do her hair. (She's having a boy!)
Here's the post-nap pictures. The ponytails made it. (sort of)
Kind of jealous about being able to put a child's hair in pigtails. She looks SO cute. Do you think it would be unethical to grown one of my boys' hair really long so I could pigtail their head of hair? Probably. I'd be better off having 10 kids to try for a girl. :) Joy is really, really cute.
Tami -- I LOVE it! So exciting that her bangs are so long! Whoohoo -- Joy - watch out, here I come (in 2 weeks)!! Better stock up on the "hair doolies", as you call them! --Julianne
Our little Joy passed away on January 20, 2008. She was 2 years and 3 months old. She died from a rapid onset respiratory virus and passed away in her sleep. She was in the care of her loving grandparents at the time while her parents and older siblings were in Disneyland.
I am so grateful that I started blogging 9 months before she died. These memories of her a a real treasure.
"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude."
~Joseph B. Wirthlin
"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, 'For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand.' (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
I want to see the picture after naptime when she has pulled all of her hair out of the ponytails!!! She does look cute!
ReplyDeleteI have zero experience on this.. And if any of my boys grow there hair out like that I will shave it.
