I can remember being a little kid and finding it super funny that my baby cousin came to church with bows pasted to her head with toothpaste.  She looked adorable but carried around the distinct smell of mint.  Flash forward a few decades and here I am with two adorable identical baby girls.  Ironically… after all the laughter and jokes about my cousin- I now have toddlers without hair!

So what is a mama to do about something she has very little control over?  This issue (which isn’t really that big of an issue in the grand scheme of things) is that they just aren’t growing hair as fast as the other kids around them and everyone thinks they are boys—— even when they are dressed head to two in PINK!!!

Yes, I can put bows in their hair and that helps but this thrifty little momma just can’t wait for them to get some real hair!!  And she’s kind of hoping it’s the same color as her own if truth be told!

How I solved my Toddler without Hair Problem:

One night I was away at a blog conference and me and a bunch of ladies were hanging out at the hot tub after the event.  While sitting there my new friend Pam of Crochetprenuer.com, starting telling me about how she had had a crochet pattern really take off online.  It was a pattern for a crochet Beehive Bun Hat that lets you show your messy bun!

I thought that was brilliant and it gave me this crazy wild idea!!  One that I decided was worth asking about.

I explained my bald baby dilemma and asked if might be possible for her to crochet two of those hats for me but—- add a little bit of fake hair to it.

Within a few weeks, thanks to Pam, I received these adorable Phoneytail hats (as a fun gift on my birthday– even though Pam had no idea it was going to arrive then) and I can’t be more excited about how they turned out!! EEKKK!  My girls love wearing them and I feel like the hats give them such a fun, adorable glow.

Not to mention it makes them finally look like mini versions of mom- especially when I wear the hat she made for me to my brown locks through (dang Pam was spot on with matching my hair color to theirs)!

I may not be able to do anything about having toddlers without hair for now…. time will eventually, hopefully, bring more lol.  But for now, I can at least take them to Target, put them in the cart and have people ask me questions like:

“Are they identical for fraternal” instead of “Oh, what cute boys you have there, are they twins?”

Lol.

    Oh my gosh. Your babies are so cute, and the three of you … well no words on just how adorable you all look.

    What a fun and clever idea! You and your little ladies are beautiful – with or without those cute ponytails! Thank you for sharing your heart for the small things…things so many of us mommas can relate to! (My little guy has hair, but it’s growing in as one giant comb over mess!)
    Best always!

    Kim, I just love that you came up with this idea and it’s so fun to get a glimpse at what the girls will look like when their hair grows! They’re just adorable and I’m happy to have had the opportunity to make these fun little accessories for them. <3
