A Diva Too Soon

My little four-and-a-half-year-old is a diva already.  She loves to pick out her clothes, wear lots of jewelry, have her toes and nails painted and we won't even begin to talk about the shoes. 

Most of all she loves to have her hair done.  She has the most gorgeous hair to play with and pin up and braid and just about anything else.  She is one blessed little girl.  But lately she has decided that the curls were getting a little mundane. 

Since I straighten my hair quite frequently (I do not have pretty curls, rather sporatic ones) she has been begging me to straighten her hair as well.  I put it off for quite some time, reminding her that her hair is beautiful and God made her to have pretty curls.  Well, I couldn't come up with an excuse to tell her no the other day when she asked.  I was straightening my hair and we didn't have anywhere to be for a while so we had the time. 

Here she is.  I am not a big fan.  For one, it makes her look way too grown up and two her hair is definitely textured for curls - not straight - it wouldn't lay quite right.  Nonetheless, she is still my beautiful, freckle-faced, redhead.


She, however, thought her straight hair was the best thing ever.  :)
