T-tails

"T-tails," aka "ponytails," are one of Liberty's little obsessions. She loves to play with "Mamma's T-tails" and "Bibby's T-tails." Often times you will even see Liberty with a wristful of my hair rubberbands. (I wish I had a picture of it.) She also loves to hold handfuls of her own little rubberbands while I comb her hair. She likes to talk about which colors are which, or differentiate between "big-ones" or "baby-ones." A few weeks ago she woke up crying at about 1:30AM, and Trever went into her room to check on her. The first thing I heard her tell Trever over the baby monitor was "T-tails!" She was sobbing, and saying over and over, "T-tails, t-tails!" Of course, Trever had no idea what she was saying, but luckily I was able to translate, and found her stash of my "t-tails," and she quieted right down. I have no idea how or why she thought of that at 1:30 in the morning! If you're ever at our house on any given day, chances are you'll see several stray "t-tails." The best part, is that anytime Liberty finds a stash or a stray, she gets so excited and loves to share the great news with me. What a perfect example of "the simple things" in life.

Lately, I've been attempting "two-two t-tails" in Liberty's hair. She of course loves the idea, especially when I ask her, "Do you want two ponytails, like Megan?" Then we talk about all her friends and cousins who have two ponytails. It's always fun to see who she lists each time.

P.S. We're working on her smiles. If I tell her to "say cheese" she squints her eyes and makes a silly smile. Usually, I have to ask for her "pretty smile" and tell her "let me see your eyes." It's sometimes difficult to get a real smile out of her, as you can see. She sure is cute, though!
