A Lollipop For a Pony Tail

The other day I told Ila I would give her a lollipop if she let me fix her hair. After I successfully completed her somewhat real pony tail, Ross' response was "Really? You're going to keep her hair like that?" It was an exciting moment for me though. Her hair has been coming in slowly but surely these past two years, and as much as I LOVE her feathery, carefree,  hairdo I was excited to get most of her hair back into a ponytail without it looking like a colonial mullet. Call it bribery if you want, but Ila knows mommy isn't kidding around when I pull out one of those sugary balls of glory.
