Curly Girly

Emily, October 2009 (straight hair)

Emily doesn't like "girly" stuff. She considers curls in her hair to be the ultimate "girly" thing and absolutely refuses to have curls. It has probably been about three years since she has allowed me to curl her hair.

This month she was involved in a school play. During the week of the play, all the cast members were required to wear their costumes to school for the full day. The director also stated that ALL girls would have their hair curled that day. Emily didn't even own a curling iron! However, the wicked Mom in me found great pleasure in the thought of seeing her with curly hair again.

Before seminary that morning, we curled her hair with her new curling iron. It turned out SO cute! Emily was not happy, as you can see. (It took me three minutes to get that much of a smile out of her!)

And the back....

All of her friends thought she looked lovely, too. She got so many compliments that she curled it again the next day. I was one happy Mom!

(Be sure to tell her if you liked the curls.)
