All Dolled up

My girls, as much as I don't want to admit it, are growing up.  I wish I could go back in time to when they were like 1, you know, when they didn't talk back much and when they did say "No" it was the cutest thing you'd ever heard.  Kyla has, of course, felt like she was a lot older (and wiser) than she really is since she was about 4.  That is when she started begging to get her hair highlighted..I didn't even know people did anything but brush their hair at age 4, let alone that it was possible to change the color.  Well, we decided to finally let her get it done.  So, we called our personal hair stylist...Ms Penny Poe!  She came and spent a couple hours on Kyla's hair and it looked wonderful!

So, then there's Bianca.  She is a pretty typical 2nd child.  She feels like it's "not fair" that Kyla gets to do things that she can't.  No matter how much we remind her that Kyla IS 2 years older than her.  We are not trying to pick on you, Bianca, but why should you get to do XYZ when you are 8 and we made Kyla wait till she was 10.  But, in this case, we decided to relent. But, it wasn't highlights that Bianca wanted.  She wanted her curls back.  She used to have the most beautiful curls. 

Those are all natural.  Gel, hairspray and done!  

But, sadly, that picture was taken in 2007 and shortly

after that, the curls decided they no longer wanted to 

be there.  We have tried many things. w

We can get it 

slightly wavy, but it just wasn't the same :(  and, although

I love her with straight hair (using a straightner) she 

really missed her curls.

So, we once again, called Penny and she came and 

magically put curls back in Bianca :)

As you can see, she LOVES them.  They are starting to 

loosen after a few months, but I'm sure we can arrange

to get them done again.

So, there are my girls, starting, at ages 9 and 11, to slowly fry their hair, lol.  But, Mom isn't much of a good example in that, so I can't say too much.  Now Kyla wants me to show her how to put on makeup...
