That Time We Dyed Orelia's Hair Blue

What'd you do the day before Thanksgiving?  Oh, we dyed Orelia's hair blue.

Uncle Bobby flew in yesterday and Orelia had been asking him for weeks whether he would make her hair blue when he came.

He first blow dried Orelia's hair (for the first time).  She was enamored with the results.

 Then the blue went in.  And it was seriously blue.

Tons and tons of blue was washed down the sink (the sink which may never be the same), yet tons of blue still remains.

 Brother Bennett was fascinated by the new look and was very intrigued.

 We then took Orelia to see herself in the mirror.

 And she was over the moon excited.

 The master with his creation posed for some photos outside.

 Her new hair goes well with her new Uncle-Bobby-provided fairy costume as well.

 Was this my idea?  No.  Was I thrilled with the results?  No.  I am trying very hard to let Orelia be Orelia even at this young age.  She has always been herself and likes to do pretty outrageous things with her appearance.  I know that she will be doing this her entire life, so I am trying to embrace it.  We are HOPING this dye comes out in about a week or so, and hair is just hair anyway.  We love our silly, adventurous, blue-loving gal and we love that she is herself.

Blue Hair got to show off her stuff at the mall and I cannot even begin to tell you how many compliments she got.  Since the line for Santa was short, I also decided we might as well pop over for a visit to memorialize her blue hair.

When asked what she wanted for Christmas, Orelia said she would like a yo-yo (she gave the same answer last week too).

We adore this spunky kid so much.
