Haley's "Stick Up" hair

As some of you may know, Haley and I have become a little excited about her hair lately since she is finally letting me do cool stuff with it. I search blogs to get ideas for cool ways to do her hair and then I show Haley the picture and she tells me yes or no.

Last night she got out of the bath and I told her I'd just do her hair real quick in two braids so it would be fast and easy since she wanted to play the computer before bed. Here's our conversation.

Haley: Mom, I want my hair sticking up.
Mom: Are you sure? Let's just do quick braids so you can play.
Haley: No, lets look on the computer.
Mom: Are you sure? You only have 5 minutes for hair AND play, so if we take time to look on the computer you wont have as much time to play.
Haley: Let's look at the computer.
Mom: Ok (So I scroll through trying to find SUPER easy ones that would be fast and painless.)
Mom: The hair you have in mind, have we done it before? (Hoping the answer would be yes so I could just show her pictures of her actual hair that we've done so I don't have to sift through hundreds of blog photos.)
Haley: No, we haven't done it. I want it sticking up.

So we keep searching and she comes across this.

Haley: This. This is what I want.
Mom: A ponytail?
Haley: Yes.

Boy did BJ and I smile and chuckle. It was SO darn cute. Apparently she wanted this PARTICULAR pony tail because it is high on the head and 'sticks up.'
