Copper Curl

As I put Mina into the tub, I saw the perfect copper corkscrew of a curl. The very ends of her hair are still the color her hair was when she was born.

I have been meaning to clip a little piece to keep. I decided now was the time to do it. She is to the point where I worry about her losing this baby hair- which means she really is not a baby-baby anymore. I just did it and I feel like part of her babyhood came off into my hands.

It looks like I am holding a bright copper coin in my hand. It is some of the most beautiful hair I have ever seen.
