Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! Right?

So my Daughter Arietta has always been one to march to the beat of her own drummer...or at least her own solo. It's fitting I guess...her name means 'little aria' or more literally...'little self contained piece for one voice'. Yup. That's her to a T or a do re mi at least. She is only 5 and is in first grade, won't turn 6 til the end of February BUT she is almost top of her class and peers with the older students. Yeah...one of those...lol.
She was a "dark empress" for Halloween so I did her hair in twisted whirlies in front...make her fairie-like:

Ignore the head glued to shoulder pose...it's her new thing.
ANYWAY...
she decided after seeing how it looked when the whirlies came out that she wanted THAT style for school on Fri.
Um...ok.
So thursday we bathe and whirl hair so that it looks like this:

and on Friday we take the whirlies out and off she goes:




Like I said...she has her own orchestra playing for her.

And you know what?

I wouldn't want it any other way.
