speaking of big hair
Wow -- thanks for your lovely sentiments on my previous post, everyone -- but man, you guys are just as bad as my husband. Although I haven't done a scientific tally of all of the votes, it appears to me that they're falling along the lines of 50-ish/50-ish long to short, with a few abstainers and other ... interesting ... suggestions (Lala -- thanks for the "extensions" idea, but seriously -- I can barely control the hair I have now -- putting more on my head is not an option!). Nonetheless, some of your comments have helped cement my decision, so when I go in to the stylist at Friday, at 11:30 a.m. Trinidad time, I know exactly what I'm going to tell him to do.
It is also entirely likely that he will talk me into doing something else. He's persuasive like that, and I'm weak like that. So who knows WHAT I'll emerge looking like at the end of this week.
In other news... I have no other news. I'm a sad, sad little person with no other news. I'm writing up a storm, and working on getting the new Indigo Leaf out, and toiling away on all sorts of other things, and frankly, I'm just beat tonight. I'll post more soon, I promise.
In the meantime, I leave you with this picture of Alex, and her big hair. And is it me, or does this kid look at least twice her age in this picture? Kid looks 4, easy.
She's gorgeous just like her momma! I need to get a pix of my little girls with their hair fluffed out big. Their hair is so much fun for poor straight-haired, spent-hours-in-my-life-getting-perms me to play with.

She doesn't look 4, she looks about 14...seconds from a) cracking up b) "Mama play Princess with Allie?" Swear it, every single picture of her is cuter than the last. I am sending you my dental bills from all the cavities she's given me!

heyyyyyyyyy... she DOES look about 4! i didnt notice it till you mentioned it.
also, what caught my eye is the fact that she is rocking that zutano tank at age 2. so i guess i CAN go ahead and order it for this summer! (kai will be aged 19-21 mos. during the really hot weather)

I can't believe I've watched this child grow so quickly... I stumbled upon your blog a while ago and have to admit you are really the only blog I keep up with. Thanks for sharing. I'm two states away from my precious 2.5 year old niece so watching Alex reminds me of how fast my niece is growing while I'm apart from her.
