Baby Curls and Big Girl Hair

The girls got hair cuts this afternoon.  Carolyn just needed a trim, since we’re trying to grow her bangs out and get some length to it.  But Anna really wanted short hair like mine (shoulder length, not really short) and so I let her.  I didn’t realize that what was left wasn’t going to curl up so much.  It’s cute, but…oh, how I will miss those long, silky ringlets.

Anna's long, curly locks...
...and her new, short, springy 'do!

Playground…and Big Girl Shoes

Denis took the girls to the school playground today while I was working, and then I met them there after work.

After we managed to pry them away from the slides and tunnels, we took Carrie to the shoe store, where we discovered that she has crossed a threshold: from toddler & preschooler style shoes to Big Girl shoes. She picked these out – the one pair in the store I would have never, ever guessed she’d want.

My little big girl is getting so big!
