When she was born, Solanne had a fine dusting of blond hair on her head, just as her sister had. But there was one difference: Solanne had this little bit of dark, thick hair on the side of her head, just above her left ear. And when her newborn down fell out, the tuft of hair stayed, stubbornly. And it often stuck out, defying us to tame it (which has always been impossible).
So when Solanne's hair began to grow back, the tuft remained, longer than the rest and defiant as ever. Nowadays, it's generally only noticeable to us, sticking out ever so slightly (though still untameable). But yesterday, it came back in full force, so I had to capture it for you.
And this is how Solanne got the nickname "Tufty."
