She used her fake-mad expression the whole time, but I'm pretty sure she likes them.
Afterwards she asked me, through pantomime, for a hairbow, and I was struck dumb by my own obliviousness.
All this time waiting for a little girl, and I forgot about hair bows?
So now I need to know, internets, and fast: where do I get some hairbows (and ribbons)?

oh my word, are you serious??
You need to be more specific. What kind? Big ones that clip? At ROE, probably.
Rebecca Livingston has a source. I will get back with you.
(I sound like a drug dealer.)
For a quick fix (until you have more time), Claire's [store locater - found at most malls http://www.claires.com/locator/default.asp]. Try to go here by yourself, or else set expectations ahead of time. They have a lot of "cute" stuff that will suck any young girl in. The core hair fixings are often in the back (so you have to walk through the trap of Hello Kitty, etc. accessories trap).
P.S. Good luck! I buy a lot of things at a time - they break, fall out at the wrong time, and get stashed where they shouldn't be, so if you have "sets" (2 that go together), get two sets so you have at least one intact matching set over time....
It depends - I have most of mine made through etsy, but in a pinch, Target sells them in the toddler section (though those might be too small for RJ). You can always get some at Gymboree while you get them made on the web.
Oh, good gravy, I am a mom of boys and have no clue BUT...have you read the blog Kelly's Korner? Her (baby) daughter is never, ever, ever without a bow and I'll bet she'll have ideas for you.

I second Claire's and Target. Also, Icing (might be too teenager) and Hello Kitty store.
For a fun project, you might want to make some with her. I made balloon ones as a kid and loved them.
Here's the balloon one: http://home.howstuffworks.com/girls-hair-barrettes3.htm
but basically you can but the backs a craft stores and add whatever you want.
Nice work, commenter friends! In just a few short hours I have options from the mall, to custom online, to DIY fun.
Love it. We're moving today, but next week it will be bow central around our new house.
