Lydia's second haircut

Given by none other than the princess herself!

Thankfully, after hanging up the phone, I heard scissors and ran to the bathroom. I'm pretty sure she would have cut the whole thing if she hadn't been caught.

The damage.

Extra sad because she had such pretty curls.

Days later I found more hair hidden in other locations. Like behind the couch, in the closet and behind a basket in the computer room.

After the hair cutting incident I began to realize that Lydia is "that" child. The one everyone talks about that is into constant mischief. Hyrum was just never that curious, and in his younger days, was very obedient. Lydia on the other hand, has a very free adventurous spirit and loves to be busy and to learn with hands on activities. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I tell her not to do a certain activity and explain why not; she still does it. Below are a few pictures of Lydia's creativity that can be found around our home.

The sheets on my bed. My pillowcase also has drawings on it.

Maybe Lydia will make her fortune through art, and I will look back at these days with gratitude that I was able to provide so many great places for her to practice. You really never know, right?

To be honest, I'm grateful to have such an upbeat adventurous spirit in our home. She has so much animation and excitement that constantly bubbles over and fills our home.

Thank you, Lydia, for adding so joy and love to my life!
