Dos and Doodles

Jillian surprised me today with a fist full of her long blonde locks. "Mama! I cut my hair!" She was just beaming and I was just in shock so I grabbed the camera trying to minimize the situation so she wouldn't be tempted to do it again. "Just taking a picture for Daddy" I responded while knowing I was really trying to capture the humor of it all. The child is obsessed with fashion, color, hairstyles and everything sparkly. In fact, Jon and I just commented the other day that we should put the scissors away as any day now she would take them to her golden hair. Well, Jillian, here is the first picture for your style portfolio:




Now normally we wouldn't worry too much about her attempts to style her own hair. The child knows what she wants! But we are worried as she seems to also have a propensity toward tatooing. Take a look at what literally happened in the backseat of our van on a ride home from church:



I wish I could say this was the first time. If given a marker, the child instantly begins to draw on herself. And not small, tiny little marks but gleefully all over any patch of skin she can reach. She thinks its simply fabulous.

And I am simply making sure she stays far away from motorcycles.
