Alice’s wild wild hair is getting pushed in two directions.
First, Mom gave Alice her first trim, cutting some of Alice’s bangs away. I, personally, think that this was a grave injustice to Alice who should never have suffered from forced hair loss, but Mom whacked her while I wasn’t around. It does not hang in her eyes quite as much, but a few more months and it would have been long enough to not be a problem. Mom’s just too impatient.
On the other hand, the playscape in back is made of plastic. It’s also been cool and dry most days. This means that when Alice goes out to play on it, she generates a significant static electrical charge. This makes her hair literally stand out straight. I have not yet gotten a picture of that, but her hair is so fine I’m not sure it would really show up in the picture.
