Fancy Hair

Three different girls. Three unique personalities. Three definitions of fancy.

Reading "Little House in the Big Woods" to the girls again inspired Anna to ask for rag curlers in her hair.
The ultimate in fancy hair, to the eldest Clement daughter.
Josie, on the other hand, insisted on pigtails with bows in them. That, she informed us, is truly the fanciest hair.
Ruthie wanted "One bow, Mama!"I love that each definition of fancy matched the personality of the one requesting the hair style. The only problem was that people commented all day on Anna's fancy hair, and almost no one noticed how fancy Josie's was. She was a little sad. When does cultural reinforcement begin to corrupt natural personality and desire? Hold true, sweet Josie!
We love the uniqueness of each one of you, different from anyone else in the world.

Caroline says she likes your hair, all of you. I (Aunt Holly) think that you three are the fanciest girls I have ever seen. Katie, you're bringing back childhood memories of Mom doing our hair in rag curlers. So fun!
