New Skills

I am thrilled to announce that little Catherine learned a new skill today.

                                                                    Pouting


I have to try really hard not to laugh because she thinks that her pouting is really ruffling my feathers.  But hey, if she wants to go quietly pout about something, who am I to stop her! I much prefer it over the huge whining, screaming fits of last week.

Francesca was quickly on the scene as the cheer-up committee.



I also learned a new skill today. I call it "chop the hair". I am kind of weird about my kids hair. When they are little, I really like to keep it long and I am not fond of bangs. I don't know why. They just seem so final. However, little Catherine keeps slurping on her hair and making it slimy, so I had to take drastic action.



Catherine was ambivalent about her new style. She was worried about the rest of her hair coming out while she was sleeping.



"I like my hair so far mommy.", she told me, " but what will happen to my hair tomorrow?" You just never know around here.

So, what do you all think, did I mess up her hair? My son's hysterical laughter has me worried.

  2. I seriously love the bangs, her face was MADE for them! And you did a great job. They're fairly straight, but without that just-cut look.

  7. Precious angel with a new do! Way to go mom and from a mom that lives with all males in the house, laughter from them on such things is usually a good sign. When they shriek in horror is when you have to worry. Keep your head up through this rough time with the girls. It is so amazing to see His work through you in the transformation of the girls. I will continue to pray for travel mercies, peace, medical miracles, and secret staches!

  11. Little Catherine looks adorable! I think bangs make hair look more "fixed" even if a kid just rolled out of bed, so that's a good thing. I so wish my daughter could have bangs but fine wispy wavy hair doesn't do bangs.
