Our hairstyling adventures were inspired by our friend's little boy who, when being helped to remember who exactly was coming to a playdate, asked, "Oh, you mean the baby with the hair growing out of her ears?"
Um, yeah. That'd be Madeline. We still haven't stopped laughing about it, because it's a startlingly accurate description of her -- or at least of her hair. (And because it was said with love.) Madeline doesn't have a lot of hair on the top of her head, but the hair in the back is getting some length. (It's a toddler mullet, I know. I should probably cut it, but it's all the hair she has!) Okay, her hair isn't growing out of her ears, but her tufty little locks have a habit of sticking out from her head, just behind her ears. And now we know we can corral those strands into pigtails!
Of course, I'll also have to share that it'll probably be several more months before you see any consistent hairstyling on Miss Madeline, because she's just not that into it. These pigtails? They were gone before I finished taking photos...

Adorable :) If it makes you feel any better, I didn't have enough hair for pigtails until I was 3, never mind a toddler mullet :)
Very cute! Looks like the blog got a little makeover, too. Looking good! Anna and Madeline have the same thoughts about keeping things in their hair. It lasts maybe 5 min. around here, which is why her hair is always looking crazy and going everywhere and why we keep it short. Oh well, someday she'll care.
Sophie doesn't have much hair either! It is definitly longer in the back too, and we joke about her having a mullet. I keep thinking we should cut it, and then maybe it would start to grow. Benny had so much hair as a toddler, it just doesn't seem fair! We have had more recent success with teeny tiny barrettes. She'll actually keep them in for several hours, but the bows she pulls out almost immediately. Maybe one day.....
