Skunk stripe

Little Miss A has a tiny birthmark just a bit behind her ear that cause the hair to grow white, in just that little spot.  When she was a baby I was always second guessing if maybe it was just the light playing tricks.  The older she got, the thicker her hair grew and I became more certain that it was in fact, a white streak in her hair.  It's really tiny.  And subtle.  You have to look for it to even find it.  But I think its adorable.

Unfortunately, she did not.  When she was three, she was in a dance class that participated in the spring show "Peter Pan" and she was the cutest skunk ever and giggled when I told her she had a skunk stripe.  When she was four, her class did a kangaroo dance for the Dr. Seuss show.  So she began insisting it was a kangaroo stripe instead.  But more recently, I was teasing her about her skunk stripe and she got so upset that I was calling her a skunk!  She said she hated it and wanted me to cover it up.  I was so surprised and SO sad because I love that little unique thing about her.

So this morning I was watching a DIY video on youtube about these adorable Anna cookies that I will never actually make and it finally dawned on me!  I showed her the video and we agreed she has an ANNA stripe, just like Princess Anna from the movie Frozen.  The I went to facebook to show her pictures of two of husband's cousins that have a similar but even more prominent white stripe.

And now she loves her stripe again.  And I love my little skunk.  kangaroo.  Anna.  skunk.
