I'm not sure why this bothers me....it probably should not, but it is starting to get on my nerves....a little.
So, as we all know, Lilla has A LOT of hair, always has....probably always will. Now, I've never thought this was a big deal, I mean I've noticed that unlike most babies her age, yes, she does have longer hair then most. However, the comments from strangers need to stop. First it was, "wow, you're daughter has a lot of hair", then went to "did you dye your daughters hair" (because her hair when she was born was DARK BROWN, then grew in blonde....people thought we had her tips dyed....as if) now it's "she's so tiny" or "she doesn't even look real"???? So now, because she has long hair, people think she's 2 or 3 years old, when actually she's 17 months (and exactly the size she is supposed to be...not so tiny....actually she's 97 percentile) and they get disappointed when she can't say hi on command. Leave the girl alone strange people. I know you mean well, but enough is enough.
Anywho....I've now made a mental note to myself, no more commenting on other people's children, unless it is to say they are cute. =)

Dude, I totally agree. While my child does not have a 1/4 of the hair Lilla does and probably never will (she takes after me in that department) she is a SHE. Why do I get, "Oh, HE'S so cute" when she is clearly wearing a shirt with blue hearts. Would I dress my son in a shirt with hearts?!?!?! NO! So, F-U people...I'm not putting a damn headband in her hair just so people know she's a girl.
I HATE when people make stupid comments about kids! People used to stop me all the time about Charlie and his thumb-sucking - "oh, you better get him to stop that or he's going to need braces." Or, "he's not a baby anymore, he shouldn't be sucking his thumb." Ugh, mind your own business. Lilla's hair is fabulous and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! :-)
