EVERY morning The Princess and I fight about her hairstyles.
It isn’t that I hurt her. It’s that I don’t hurt her enough.
She wants it VERY tight and perfectly smooth.
Can you say impossible?
Grandma Baxter told her, “Princess, when I was a girl my mom used to pull my hair back so tight that it pulled on the skin of my eyes.”
The Princess looked at me in wonder, “Can you do that too?”
Tonight I said, Look, no more of this. I am going to start brushing your hair every day. Sometimes it will be loose and sometimes there will be bumps, sorry. But if it helps, let’s go online and see if we can find pictures of hairstyles you like.
She looked at this and said, “No.”
She looked at this and said, “No way.”
She looked at this and said, “Is that loose?”
She looked at this and said, “That one!! That girl in the middle. I love it. I want my hair just like hers.”
