Hair

A waterfall of hair cascades down es' back to her waist, lovely but tempting to touch.  Sometimes ec pulls his sister's hair hard enough to make her cry.  He probably doesn't really know what he's doing, but it hurts just the same.  Recently when this happened, I suggested we put her hair into pig tails or braids so it might hurt less if grabbed, but she said, "I like my hair this way," even as she wiped away tears.  On the days she goes to school, she allows her mom to put up her hair so it stays out of her way.  Maybe that's why she likes it loose on other days.  Because her hair is so fine, even braids don't stay neat all day.  I am curious to see how her hair changes as she gets older.
