#44 Dandelion

#44: my child was born with coolness. Evidence: his awesome mohawk hair. I promise, we never styled it that way! It looks like a cool hair style; in actuality, the style came from the fact that his hair grows in all different directions. The right side grows to the left and the left to the right. They meet right on top. Elijah instantly became famous for his hair. There was not a person we met who didn't comment on it. As he's growing his hair is changing. It has turned white blond and the mohawk has grown out. It's still there, just much longer so we can actually get it to lay down a bit. Although last night he slept on funny and woke up with one side sticking straight up. I dropped him off at Shelbie's and as he walked through the living room, the sunlight shining bright through the windows behind him, Shelbie nailed exactly what he looked like... a dandelion. My sweet dandelion.
