Lily and Sophie's day with Daddy. . .

Well, here's what happens when daddy's in charge while mommy is at work:

Sophie will come home with bangs!

and Lily will come home with pierced ears!
(Alright, I exaggerated a bit for dramatic affect- Will did actually ask me about the earrings beforehand. . . but the bangs were a surprise!)

Sophie's first haircut!

Sophie's very fine hair was looking scragglier by the day and the knotts were over-taking her life. As she is resistant (to say the least) to having her hair brushed and I was getting tired of fighting this battle, I knew the time was long overdue. The only thing holding me back was the fact the Sophie is the wiggliest little person I have ever encountered- literally is constantly in motion. Well, anyway, I finally determined to do it yesterday following bath time. After tackling that rat's nest once and for all in the shower, with many tears and hairs shed, I was ready to tackle the next challenge. Yes, she wiggled as much as I thought she would and it is not quite as even as it could be, but I think she still looks cute as a button!
