I love Whoorlita’s hair. It’s finely-textured, perfectly straight and has the loveliest natural highlights. However, it’s been looking a little, um, straggly lately.
Case in point.
Sweet little toddler mullet.
If you don’t mind, let’s digress and briefly chat about the photo on the right. You see, as Wita approaches her 2nd birthday, it seems she has taken to dressing herself. Here’s a delightful number she threw together on the morning of her hair appointment. Let’s see – we have her colorful striped pajamas as the base layer, followed by a navy jacket she outgrew a year ago, her brother’s swim trunks and brown suede boots, and the piece de resistance, a pair of swim goggles. Let’s get this girl her own fashion blog! Too bad hobochic.com isn’t available.
Back to the hair. Although we live smack dab in the land of little girls with long, sun-kissed locks, I’ve never envisioned my little girl with long hair. Call me old-fashioned, but nothing delights (yes, I said “delights,” and I mean it) me more than a shorter style that shows off all those perfectly lovable baby girl features that will be gone before a blink of an eye. Specifically, the chin-length bob with bangs combo. It’s just so fresh and adorable and stylish, and the cut truly sets itself apart from the sea of baby beach bunnies around here.
So, we did it. With a strawberry lollipop in hand, Wita got her first real cut.
You guys, MAH BABY. It suits her perfectly, and someone might be living vicariously through her daughter right now.

April 5, 2012 at 8:51 amI love it! I took my 2 year old daughter to my hair stylist last month, and had her do the same cut-a little more stacked and choppy, simply because she wouldn’t stay still-I love it too-I’m tired of waist length hair on little girls too!

April 5, 2012 at 8:41 pmMy daughter got the exact same cut around age two and now at age four, we still love it. i can’t imagine her with any other hair style – it’s her signature look. And yes, i had a bit of hair envy and recently attempted the blunt bang/bob look myself, but couldn’t quite pull it off without looking like Dora the Explora.
Wita is gorgeous!
