is keep the hair out of her face. When I was a kid, I always thought babies with "fountain ponytail" hairdos looked silly, and I never really understood why moms would do that to their little girls. Ha ha, the laugh is on me now. Claire's hair always seems to be in her face these days, and now she gets baby food in it, so the fountain ponytail(s) is the only choice, at least until her hair is long enough for real ponytails or braids. She really doesn't like me putting hair ties in, and she is tricksy enough to try to snack on them if she can pull them out, and I now feel officially inaugurated into the world of little girl hairdos ... even to the point of reserving a few minutes before going to Mass or a nice outing to "do" her hair. I have been spoiled too long by the boys' no-comb-necessary hairstyles!
