Yesterday was monumental.
Harlow has been fascinated with hair lately–she loves to brush her daddy’s hair, she’ll drap my hair over her head, or she’ll pretend to style mine.
Besides the fact that it quite often hurts, it’s pretty darn cute.
Well yesterday? Yesterday, Harlow had me put her hair in a sweet little pony tail.
I wasn’t sure when I was supposed to document the occasion.
When we have the ponytail even though it looks goofy? Or wait until it’s more legit?
Well, thanks to so many of you: I learned that I can count yesterday as a monumental occasion.
So I of course needed to document it here as well.

I also texted all family with this joyous news–knowing it would probably bring up fond memories of a time when I wore a similar style.
Part of me wishes I could find and post the actual video–but it is probably way more embarrassing than I even remember!
As the story goes, my mom put one, lone sponge roller in a small pony tail atop my head.
See Exhibit A below.
This sweet curler stayed there all night, ready to be taken out for church the next morning.
Now this is the point at which the cameras begin rolling.
My sweet little two year old self held a mirror while my mom carefully took out my little roller.
You totally used those as a kid too, right?
My excitement faded as I saw it.
“I don’t like it!”
I whined over. and over.
Let it be known that I was a bit of a *cough cough* drama queen *cough* in those days.
I’ve matured a lot since then.
So through the laughing–not me, but my parents, of course–I think my mom finally convinced me that it looked cute, and I left it alone.
I then went on to insist on putting on my dress all by myself only to put it on backwards and get even more frustrated.
I wasn’t laughing then–but looking back: so funny.
Annnnnnnd then I found 5 dollars.
{not the best story I’ve ever told…sorry!}
Looking through old photos, I couldn’t resist! Look at my killer kitchen!
Harlow’s pales in comparison.
xo.
Looking at the picture of you with the blue pjs and the sponge roller, I can definitely see the resemblance to Harlow!
Same here!!
I totally had the same kitchen as you. Of course.
Of course! We’re sisters!! :)
My mom also used the pink sponge curlers. In fact, she used just one on my little head too…to take the cray that was my stick up, stand up, never lay down hair! Ha! It just ended up being a curly ‘fro instead of a straight one.
Oh man.
This is the kind of post that makes me wonder what a daughter of mine would be like.
Also? I want Harlow’s shirt. :)
What were our moms thinking!?!? Oh man…Harlow’s going to grow up asking the same thing :( Hopefully she can laugh about it!!!
Kenzie (age 5) just walked up as I was at the end of the post and said “Oh…look at her cute little ponytail” then she sighed and said “Wow…that is a very nice kitchen!” : ) It reminds me of these itty-bitty “horn” pigtails we did on Kenzie : )
Awwwwww!!! at least someone was impressed!! I TOTALLY remember her little pig tails!! I tried to do 2 on Harlow…but um… we’re not there yet. :)
Awwwww! She is so cute! I also had that same kitchen as a kid… brings back tons of memories! :)
Ah!! it must have been popular — and probably cheap!! :)
Wow, you two are TWINS :) Love it and that sweet ponytail is just presh. Like I said, next up for her will be a messy bun!
Hope you have a super day!
Angela
I know!! I think she is looking more and more like me each day!! She looked JUST like Andy when she was born!!
xo!
What a cute ponytail! I love toddler hair – but not the attitude that goes with it. ;)
Haha!! so so so true!
ah, i love it! i saw that photo pop yesterday and it just brought the biggest smile to my face. love that sweet little ponytail!
Isn’t it the best? She’s asked before – but then refused to let me actually put her hair into a pigtail – so this def was a big deal!
Super cute pigtail! Her hair is so similar in color to yours as a baby.
I agree!!! I love her strawberry blonde….but I hope she is a blonde like her mama!! xo!
That little pony is so so adorable. Def a memorable occasion :)
Thanks, Courtney!! xoxo!
It most certainly is a big deal–haha–and it is adorable! Congrats to sweet Harlow!
Thanks, E!
Her ponytail is SLAYING me – I’m in love!
now I’m waiting to mark the day when she has two!!
stop it – pigtails are going to be the ultimate ;)
What a little cutie! That ponytail totally counts! What a stylin little lady, such a doll!
Thanks, Jennifer!! xo!
Haha! You guys look so much alike! I’m almost positive I had a play kitchen exactly like that! Good times :)
I think we look alike too!! but so many people say she looks just like Andy!
xoxo!
