The Longest Hair Ever

What use is a very long rope to a little girl?  For making Rapunzel hair, of course.



She she ties it around her head and then runs all over the yard with it trailing behind her (in her underwear on this day.... is it just my kids who hate to wear clothes??) or she drags it all over the house or bundles it up in her arms (like Rapunzel does in the movie Tangled) or she strings it up all over the deck creating giant spider-web type traps.



If you expect to walk through her play area, ducking and stepping and moving her "hair" without making her cry, you are wrong.  She plays seriously and doesn't like to be disrupted even if you do have to get into the kitchen because your oven timer beeped and she has her "hair" through the door handle.... not that I tried to do that.  



Although it's become a bit inconvenient to work around, I do love her creativity and her growing proficiency at tying knots.


Oh, and also the way it makes her cute little ears stick out :-)

Adorable! It reminds me of the giant, thin material, blue with faded pink flowers beach towel I used to use for my "hair" as a little kid. Sheer curtains with a "diamond" necklace headband would also suffice ;)
