Madi has taken to do her own hair. I am sure you recall she did it for her school pictures this year. I have learned that with our daughter if its not worth it don't argue. So I have taken to letting her dress herself, and do her own hair. She is eight years old for heaven's sake. Her brothers giver her a hard time, but I just tell them to leave her alone. Last week when she took to tucking her jeans into her socks, both Drew and Adam told her she "Looks like and Idiot". No I don't condone the language, but you know how boys are. Anyway, I remember doing the same thing in 8 th grade. We didn't have skinny jeans for a few more years, but we would wrap our pant legs around our ankles and tuck them in the socks. I don't remember if I thought it was cute, just wanted to go with the new fad. I giggle to myself, knowing that someday, she will ask me Why I let her out of the house that way. People know I didn't do her hair, and she gets a sense of independence. She has to learn how to express herself somehow. After all, it's only hair.
