Two new things in this photo: Lainey's missing front teeth and her bangs. She's quite taken with the Tooth Fairy, in fact, she gets more excited about the tooth fairy than Santa Claus. I just don't get that one. Seriously, she brings coins! Santa brings presents AND candy! Sigh. There's hope for her yet. About the hair. We got it cut today and I made the last minute decision to get her bangs. She got bangs when she was a year old and it took 3 years to grow the blasted things out. That was not fun. One of Lainey's many strengths is her willingness to let me brush her hair. She very rarely complains about the knots and always lets me brush it as much as I feel the need to, or until I get her hair just right. So we finally have the bangs grown out and what do I do-cut them right back off again! She's pretty excited about her hair. All afternoon she kept asking us, "Can you believe I got bangs?!" and "I don't even look much like myself!" followed up with a little giggle. Lord Almighty do I love this girl!
