In a desperate attempt to do something with Ryleigh's wild hair for the parties this weekend I went out and purchased hair elastics, clips, and bows.
This morning she tolerated me brushing her hair and parting it, but as I was trying to put elastics in she started crying. So, I moved on to the bows... which made her cry harder. Then I just tried to get her hair to stay down by wetting it and brushing it, which failed.
So, I decided she had had enough crying so I fed her breakfast.... which she them smudged into her hair.
I combed it out, and try to just clip a little of it back.... which resulted in her screaming and grabbing at my hands trying to push them away.
Lesson of the day: Daddy wins.... Ryleigh seems determined to be a tomboy despite my best efforts to make her a girly princess :-(

Maybe she will allow you later? I have no advice to give on this since I had all boys and simply shaved their heads in the summer!
ah, it's too soon to tell! amelie never let me do anything to her hair until she was 3 (of course, she was bald until she was 1.5 =). maeve is pretty tolerent--but then again she's like her daddy and NOT like me =) and amelie is a good mix of tom boy and princess so ryleigh could very well be the same--the best of both worlds! sporty AND fashion conscious!
