Now on to the hair. My girls have so much of it, but Britton's isn't quite as long as Caitlyn's was at the same age. Still there is a ton there. So the other day I thought I would try something out.
Tada! She has enough hair for some little puff braids. I know that you are all very excited about that. Of course she didn't exactly want to hold still while I did it. I have to laugh whenever people tell me that all you have to do is start doing their hair as soon as you can and your girls will hold still. I think personality plays into it as well because we start doing pigtails before six months and Britton won't hold still just like Caitlyn wouldn't at almost 18 months. Have I said that I'm glad that this next one is a boy because I won't have to worry about doing his hair?
A shot from the front, doesn't she look so cute? And so innocent? I asked for her cheeses and this is what I got. I haven't tried to do the braids since, mainly because I seem to be doing hair on the run a lot.

Hair and My New Favorite Thing
I know it says hair first but I just have to tell you about one of my new favorite things. But first a little background. Some of you may know that I lead a pretty boring life, I know sad but true. After I put the kids to bed I do things like Google cloth diapers and homemade laundry detergent. While I was reading about laundry detergent I found an interesting tidbit. Someone said that OxyClean is the same thing as hydrogen peroxide. Shortly after I read that Britton decided it would be a great idea to pretend to drink her red Koolaid, but really spit it down the front of her white onesie. So I figured I would try hydrogen peroxide, if it didn't work the onesie was ruined anyway. I really wish that I had taken pictures, because it worked. I put the onesie in a container, poured the peroxide on, added some water and swished it a little. Since then I have used it to get chocolate milk and hot chocolate out of a light pink shirt, why Caitlyn is always wearing that shirt when she spills I have no idea, strawberry stains, tomato soup, grape juice, and other stuff that I can't remember. Now I keep the hydrogen peroxide by the washer, sometimes I will add it to a load of whites, and a little soak takes care of the stains.

Britton is a cutie! Love her hair. Thanks for sharing your new favorite thing. I have used Biz quite a bit, but stopped because it is kind of pricey. I am going to try peroxide in the same way. Also, how do you like the cloth diapers? I have really been thinking about investing in some. Those resurrection rolls are neat. I read about them on sugardoodle.net. So cool that you tried them out and they worked perfectly!
