I cut my babies' hair today. Mari doesn't look too different because I want to grow hers out long, so I just trimmed it. Zoe, however, had a mop on her head she could barely see thru. Her hair is really curly, so I kinda want to keep it short. It is the kind of curl that falls out into waves with lots of length. Well...I cut it a bit shorter than I intended. She looks remarkably like Shirley Temple now. Which is fine with me because I adore Shirley Temple and have often thought Zoe bore more than a passing resemblence to her. But I felt kinda foolish when Brad came home and his first comment on her hair was "Were you TRYING to make her look like Shirley Temple?" I have a horrible feeling that I treat my children more like dolls than human beings. I spend more time picking out their clothes and doing their hair than fixing their meals. Prob'ly not a good thing. Perhaps I should join that BadParents community I found last night. Brad and I were laughing so hard at the stories other parents posted about their "badness" that we both had tears in our eyes.

Awwwww! You are so adorable! I'm in that nesting, "oooh, baby!" stage right now and these stories are wonderful. B-) Great color scheme & icon, and Happy Halloween!

Thanks. You are so lucky to just be starting the baby thing. I frequently just want to start over and be amazed by a newborn. But then again, I'm having fun with my toddler/preschoolers too!

Caring about their clothes and hair shows you love them. They won't want to see old photos of themselves in 20 years' time looking like "nobody's child" as my grandmother used to say to me when I refused to brush my hair.
