You know how fashion trends often align themselves with different decades? Remember how in the 80s it was cool to wear tight jeans and roll up the ends so that they were even tighter, and then tuck them into your socks? Yeah, me neither. The pendulum swung the other direction in the next decade when you were only cool if your pants only stayed up if you kept your legs in a wide stance. Ah-hem. Well, it seems as though baby trends change even quicker than those of the society around them, and I have witnessed the pendulum swinging in my own little family.
When Ellie was a baby she went through a stage where she was rocking the Jean-Luc Picard look. She insisted that it was the in-thing no matter how much I complained about how difficult it made it to get a cute picture of her.
Fast forward to a few years later and the fashion trends have already changed. Addie claims that the Jean-Luc Picard look was "soo 2007" and she'd never be caught dead with such a haircut. Instead, she sports a square-ish patch that, from certain angles, resembles a Mohawk. As cool as she thinks her older sister is, she knows she needs to keep ahead of the fashion trends in her own group of baby friends. Those babies can be so judgmental! I tried to tell her that Mohawks make someone look like a bad-@$$ and she just smiled knowingly. I think she is planning something. Should I be afraid?
