Wonder of Wonders... Miracle of Miracles!

OK, can you tell me what makes this picture so special?? Hint: Look at Emma!

Answer: She has pig tails in!!

If you don't know why this is such a big deal, then you probably don't know me as well as you think you do. When Emma was a baby, I had a headband or clip in her hair EVERY day. I love when little girls have their hair done. For a long time now, she has refused to let me do anything with her hair. On Sunday, David jokingly said that I should try putting pig tails in. Of course, I laughed. She never sits still long enough to let me do her hair, and then she pulls it out the first chance she gets (usually about 1.5 seconds after I'm finished). I made a big deal that she was going to have pretty pig tails, and guess what? She fell for it! For THREE days now, she has had pig tails and she loves them. She calls them her "pretty tails" and insists that I use a pink rubber bands. Of course, she's still a wild child, so they get pretty messed up, but who cares? OK, maybe me, but I'll take anything at this point!! Isn't she cute?

Now, everyone say a little prayer that this new found enthusiasm for "pretty tails" will last!! In a couple days, I might even try putting bows in them, but I'm trying not to push my luck! :)
