Girls and their stuff

I've decided I want to let Abby's hair grow out rather than giving her bangs. Once she gets older, if we think she'll look better with bangs, we'll cut it, but in the meantime it's all staying put. Which means she's in this stage:

 
Not long enough to tuck behind her ears. It doesn't seem to bother her, but it does bug me... Luckily we were given lots of hair clips (and have bought a few too)



I do have to readjust it several times a day, but it's worth it. So of course she has lots of colors -- she's a girl, her accessories have to coordinate with her outfit! ;) Up until this morning, here is where they all were kept:


Her "accessory drawer", as I like to call it... Shoes, socks, hats, hair bows... But do you realize how difficult it can be to find a specific bow to wear during the Sunday morning rush-around-we're-late-for-church? So down to the sewing room I went. Found a ribbon. And a thumbtack.


(Yes, she does have a blue and yellow clip. No, it's NOT for U of M. I can't help it that the school my husband teaches at has the same school colors as my alma mater's arch-rival...)

Tada! I just tacked it on the wall next to the door and changing table, where we get her dressed in the morning.


Just enough out-of-reach. :) Why didn't I do this a year ago?!

On another note, I've got an idea in my head for what to finally do with that big blank blue wall... Just gotta get some poster putty... Hopefully I'll make it happen and post the results by the end of the week!! :)
