Hair Twirling

Bea's hair is still taking its time sprouting on top, but she it's getting quite long in the back. Her favorite habit has become hair twirling. She twirls all the time! In fact, she has twirled so vigorously that she has made several large tangles. The first few I tried to untangle and eventually cut off. Then one really large one became a dred lock. I let it evolve because I knew that if I snipped it off it would either form again or Bea would be very sad that she had nothing to twirl. Then one day, she handed me the dread lock and said, "here." It had fallen out on its own from repeated twirling. What do you do with your child's first dread lock? I decide to save it since I didn't really get a baby lock of hair from Bea yet... but it fell out of my pocket before we made it home. The first dread will have to live on in our memory...

  1. Weird, I didn't know that could happen! You guys should write a children's story and illustrate it.
