Pretty Pony

This is another one of those little bright moments that has been making me smile for a few days. Jocelyn goes through phases when it comes to how she wants her hair done. For weeks she wanted one clip in her hair to keep her "bangs" out of her face. For almost the entire time we were in Texas this summer she wanted pigtail braids. (That one was especially painful.) Once she decides on a hairstyle, she wants that exact same look everyday for weeks. Recently she has latched onto a single ponytail. What makes it special is she has been borrowing a pony holder of Ava's that has little strips of fabric coming out of it. Add that to the curly-cue that naturally occurs in Jocie's hair, and every time I look at her I half expect her to break out in the old song "At The Hop." She skips and her whole head springs to life. It is a great visual for her whole personality, and I really do smile every time I see that little pony bouncing around the house.

(the picture doesn't give the preciousness of her ponytail justice, but it gives you an idea)
