A Molly Moment - Pretty Hair

Molly often asks for "pretty hair." She means that she wants a clip or a barrette in her hair. Now this is often a frustrating request because she rarely leaves a clip in her hair for more than 30 minutes. And being a girl of fine, straight hair, she needs a clip to be able to see clearly.

Well, the other morning she asked for pretty hair, and not only wanted one clip, she wanted every clip in her clip jar, and then a pony tail to boot. Every clip, every ribbon, every barrette. I put them all in for her. And then she stood at the mirror admiring the beauty for several minutes. I left the room to get my camera and when I returned she looked up at me with dreamy eyes and said gratefully, "I'm so pretty Daddy."

As is typical, all the clips were out within about a half hour.

By the way, just in case I forget to share; my favorite Molly-ism is the way that she says "sparkly." Instead of "sparkly," she says "brocolli." I don't think I will every correct her. It's just too stinking cute!
