Clips...

Lacy has started picking our her own hair clips to wear and placing them in the most random of spots on her head. This really bothers me. Lacy, however, insists that she looks beautiful. Obviously I let her, always wanting to promote a healthy display of her independent little spirit... but I cringe when she comes out with these ugly hair clips attached to the side of her head.The fact is, Lacy gets stared at everywhere we go. And by everywhere... I MEAN EVERYWHERE. I like to pretend it is because she is so darn cute, but I know that people are looking at her trach wondering, "What the hell is that thing?" As a consequence I make sure that 99.9% of the time, Lacy is wearing the cutest clothes, her hair is perfect, and her shoes are absolutely adorable. If they are going to look, they will have to admit that she is better looking than their own kid.

So you can see how I am not dealing well with this ugly clip thing. Even more, I know this is only the beginning. I am currently working on a sash that says "I dressed myself today" that she can wear over any especially hideous outfit of her own choosing.

And, no, I am not going to just throw the clips away. She likes to play with them, so I will deal with it. I just wanted to vent, that's all!
