My little butterfly 🦋 I have missed doing Lola’s hair in the mornings. She has been going through a new phase of wanting to be ‘free’ as she calls it and that means not having anything in her hair or wearing any restrictive clothes. Both my girls are super sensitive to anything that could potentially make them itchy or uncomfortable. Tags, zippers, waistbands on shorts and trousers, having their hair tied too tight, even wearing closed toed shoes when it’s hot (which is all the time now). I’m hoping they will grow out of it, Lola is still very much in the thick of it and some mornings we have complete meltdowns that can last 20-30 mins during which there is no reasoning with her. I try to get ahead of these episodes but once they start it’s best to just grab a coffee and watch it unfold. Usually she brings herself out of it in her own but I have learned not to interrupt it or try to correct it while it’s happening or it can make everything worse! My older child has thankfully grown out of most of these sensory sensitivities (she is 7 now) and I’m hoping like with most things it’s just a phase and Lola will too. Today was a good day, and she let me do this gorgeous fishtail 🐠 braid but I had to promise to add the sparkly gems and butterflies 🦋 (she did try to take the whole thing out herself once we got in the car tho)!
