I purchased these bows because my 1.5 year old daughter's hair is starting to fall in her eyes a lot.  These bows are cute, and quick and easy to apply, which is good with a squirmy toddler.  They also assisted me in confirming that my daughter does in fact recognize her reflection as herself.  The bows in her hair hadn't bothered her at all until she saw her reflection, upon which she pulled them out.  <Sigh>  I expect she will approve of them eventually--she only recently started insisting on wearing socks instead of automatically pulling them off.  Just in time for summer.

P.S. She picked out those socks--not me.
