bangs and bunny teeth

Rachel will be eight in two weeks.  All of a sudden she's caring a lot more about what she looks like.  She's never really cared a whole lot about what she wears (except preferring soft pants over jeans her whole life, and loving dresses), or what her hair looks like (except disliking wearing hair accessories...comfort over fashion), and so forth.  But in the last two weeks or so I've heard her complaining any number of times about how her bangs look bad with her cowlick (which is why we're growing them out), that her dress I chose for church made her look fat (this coming from a little girl who is skinny as a rail and in the 7th percentile for weight??), and that her two front teeth look like bunny teeth.  :(

I guess it's all part of growing up and becoming more self aware, but it makes me sad that she's already having such negative thoughts about herself when she looks in the mirror.  How do I help her to navigate this huge area of self image??  It feels so overwhelming.  I want her to feel good about herself, but not too good about herself.  I want her to be happy with what she sees, but not be overly concerned about it.  I want her to be more concerned about what kind of person she is on the inside, not what she looks like, but how in the world do I do that when everything else in our culture pushes her to care exceedingly about what she looks like? Ahhhhhhh!

The other night I looked up different ways to style hair while growing out bangs.  This is the style she likes the best so far.

There's one style I like better, but I'll have to take a picture of it another day.  But oh, how I love this sweet, beautiful girl who is growing and changing and so much.  I think she looks so much older this way.

I feel like this is a whole new world we're entering with her.  One I'm not ready for!

How do I stop time???
