Rapunzel Abides

I made this wig for Claire for Christmas ($3!) and although she's pulled the top around, the part and braid are still holding up pretty well! She asked for a complete documentation the other night at bedtime so she would never forget her wig. I made the nightgown as well. She picked out the materials and we used my mom's awesome 1985 pattern. She refused to let me add heart buttons to the top at the last minute so it hangs pretty open. This makes me look a bit sorry as a crafter, but everything looked nice to begin with--Claire just has the energy of a photon and five hundred billion times the momentum!

 You can toss the braid to casually ensnare passing princes...

 When lowered carefully you can tempt your sister to climb up to dangerous counter heights.

 You can whip your Daddy in the face while shouting "Die, Mother Gofel!"

 Claire's Grandpa Henry stylin' eye roll says "Duh!" to her Grandma's comment that she's lovely.

 You can't handle this glamour.

Sing manically while brushing teeth for the win!

Whee!

Sophie says "Whee!" for everything fun, like careening down the hall at high walking speeds, having rides on Daddy Bronco or spinning in Daddy's chair. It's her most consistent word (after pointing with "this" and "that") so we'll probably go with "Whee!" for her historical first word. Besides, it emphasizes nicely just what a fun girl she is.
