Cecilia's hairstyle from this past weekend didn't last very long, as predicted. It was looking rough yesterday already so after dinner while the boys were swimming at the Y I decided it would be a bath night....
I took a deep breath to mentally prepare for the adventure ahead. I then, predictably, wrangled a Limp Noodling, Planking, Broken Leg Crying baby into the tub. I was sweating by the time I got her sitting down. I have no idea why she is suddenly so against bath time, but let me tell you, it doesn't make me appreciate this special time too much (not that I cared much for it in the first place). Eventually I got her settled down and got the job done as quickly as possible.
Taking the time to detangle her hair in the bath was not going to happen, so I got her ready and into the high chair she went. She got a hold of my keys and was so still and content. I decided to push my luck and start twisting up her hair after it was all combed through. I got a bunch of twists done that lead to a piggy tail before calling it a night. Who knew my keys could be so useful for doing a baby's hair?
When Bryan got home he asked if there was a reason all my car doors were open. Yes. Yes, there was a perfectly good reason.

So this morning we got the other piggy done during breakfast and voilà!

Spontaneity and patience. Two things this child continues to teach me :)
