Yes, but you got your Dad's olive skin tone - which counts a LOT, apparently!

My hair is what we call jokingly "the transmogrifying Peterson hair" - When I was little I had blonde curls, bright strawberryish blonde, big curls, Between Christmas and Easter when I was four, it not only turned darker - brown, to be precise, it went straight. It stayed straight for a long time, but would always get reddish or blonde streaks in the summer, and by the end of summer the ends of my hair were pretty light, especially compared to the color it was when it started out! Then it got to be kind of wavy, and now, after years, it is fairly curly if I don't blow it dry. It still gets streaks, if I am out in the sun much. My nieces have been warned this could, indeed, happen to them! Niece #3 actually straightens her hair at the present time - trying to delay the inevitable I guess!
