The pigtail experiment

So I've been anxiously awaiting the day I could put Ridley's hair in pigtails, jealous that all my friends with 1 1/2 and 2 year olds are able to put their little girls' hair in pigtails. Ridley definitely has my hair, I was practically bald until I was 2 and she seems to be following right in my footsteps! Her hair is growing quite quickly now and it's coming in just like mine did, similar color, texture and loose curls in the back. Well, it finally seems long enough to try some pigtails so I experimented with them yesterday. Here is the result. They aren't my best work but you try pulling a toddler's hair into pigtails as she's squirming around trying to play. Surprisingly, after she pulled them out a few times and I had to re-do them, she ended up leaving them in most of the day! As cute as they are, I am a little sad, it sort of makes her toddlerhood official. She's not my baby anymore! :( Enjoy these pictures of our almost 2-year-old!
