I give up.

Brushing Sophia's hair is hard. It isn't even the yelling and screaming (although that isn't my favorite). It is mostly the way that she moves her head all around the whole time so that after five minutes of brushing her hair I am actually further away from tangle free hair than I was when I started. 

Today on a whim I decided to throw in the towel. I'm sick of it. She's sick of it. So maybe this long hair thing can wait a year or two. 

If the haircut doesn't win you over, those big brown eyes just might.
