A New Look

For a long time, Abigail wanted to grow her hair out, including in the front. So we have been in the transitional phase where her previously-short bangs were now too long to let hang over the eyes, but too short to do anything else with. I finally convinced her that having shorter bangs was not such a bad idea, and she could still let the rest of her hair grow out. So she consented to my cutting her hair in the front. She may have a lot of firsts in her short time with our family, but this is a first for me. I have never played the role of beautician before. The result looked so much better and now we're not having to pin everything back all the time.

In addition to this, Abigail got glasses this past Saturday. It has taken her a few days to stop playing with them all the time and to quit asking if she can take them off, but she said right away that she could see so much better and she could actually read the store signs across the street.

So here is the new Abigail...


Tonight, she got out the big box of dress-up clothes she has and put on a fluffy pink dress. Deb also had some toy costume jewelry that she has squirreled away for just such an event. So here is a picture of Princess Abigail...
