Tough Job

Katy is away this weekend, off with her college roommates for some well-deserved pampering. So far we are doing great here at home - with one exception.

I cannot fix Claire's hair to save my life. I must admit, this is a wrinkle I hadn't anticipated when it comes to having a daughter.

She had dance class this morning, and I know she is supposed to have her hair back so it isn't in her face the whole time. Claire and I decided to go with a ponytail in the back and barrettes on the sides. This is where the easy part ended.

How the heck does my wife get the ponytail holder snug without pulling Claire's hair out? And how do you figure out where to put those stupid clip barrettes? Good grief, to look at the poor girl you'd think I had hooves instead fingers.
