Curls! Curls! Curls!

A few months ago Hylie wanted to try a new 'do and go curly.  I have fond memories of my mom putting foam curlers in my hair before bed time and I would lie in bed counting the curlers, hoping none would fall out during the night.  So we picked up some classic foam curlers the next time we were at the store.

Well, it took a few attempts before a success.  The first time, Hylie squealed with delight when she got curlers in her hair, but after 5 minutes of being in bed she came out and said she couldn't sleep with all that stuff on her head.  A few months passed and Hylie decided it was time to try again.  She kept them in while she fell asleep, but all her nighttime acrobats knocked quite a few out, so I had to figure out what to do with hair that was half straight/half curly.  Hmm.

Despite the disheveled look, Hylie was thrilled.  We went to the library that day and she couldn't wait for everyone to see her curls.  She was pretty disappointed when no one said anything to her about her hair.  I didn't have the heart to tell her it was probably because people didn't know if she tried to do something different with her hair or if the wind did a crazy number on her locks.

Anyways, attempt three was way more successful!  We curled her hair for church on Sunday and she looked darling!  Hylie was giddy all day and it seemed EVERYONE noticed her bouncy curls.  One of her friends, Miles, turned to his mom and said, "Hylie looks so sparkly today!"
