Stubborn pigtails!



Girls are so much fun! Ava's hair is finally long enough for pigtails. There isn't a whole lot of hair to put into the pigtails but we had fun playing with what's there. :) Of course she had to start pulling them out as soon as they were in so we had to distract her with something. It's not always easy to distract this girl, she can be very determined and stubborn. While I type this the girl in question is in a battle with her Daddy. She thinks she should be able to climb onto the step in front of the fireplace and stand up and jump on it. Her parents disagree. So she climbs up, Dad takes her down. She goes right back and climbs up, Dad moves her away. Jeff tried to distract her by putting her on her 4-wheeler and giving her a ride down the hallway. That worked as long as he held her on the 4-wheeler. Right back to the fireplace she went as soon as she could climb off. So he put her in her rocker and gave her a toy. No good, right back to the fireplace. He parked the 4-wheeler in front of the fireplace and blocked it off with other toys. She moved the toys. He has moved her away and told her 'no' about 16 times and I am not exaggerating. Somehow he can keep a straight face through all this but I am hiding behind the computer and my sweatshirt hood, laughing myself silly. I told him its all his fault. We're getting paybacks from the way he always was growing up. It can't possibly be from me, I have always been an angel.

Love those pigtails! They remind me of Sam's around that age.
