Hair question in toddler

My middle child has light, light blond hair. She's 2.6 yrs old. H and I both have very dark brown hair.  He was sort of dirty blond as a child (and I'm being generous), but no where near as light as DD.  How on earth did she get the light hair and do you think it will stay?  Also, she still doesn't have much hair and I've only trimmed to avoid a mullet, is it EVER going to come in??

(I'm obviously very bored right now, the girls are both sleeping and the boys are camping)

    My brother, my sister and I all had white blond hair when we were little. My brother and sister now have dark brown hair and I have dark blonde hair. It happens....my DS is blonde now but I think it will change b/c of it and b/c DH's hair is really dark too.

    I think hair in general gets darker as people get older. I had light brown hair as a child and now it is very dark. DH had white blond hair as a child and now it is light brown. 

    My little sister had almost no hair until she was two, and even then it was very, very thin and short. She is sixteen now and she has a normal amount of hair, so I am sure that your DD will get more hair eventually. Wink

    Gentics are a funny thing. My nephew is blond hair and blue eyed. His Dad is hispanic, and his Mom (my sister) has dark brown hair and eyes. We have no idea where he got it.

    My DD is the same age and has very light blonde hair. I had the same color and over time it has slowly gotten darker. I'm still blonde but at the opposite end of the spectrum from her. My DH is 100% Italian and has dark skin, hair and eyes so I'm surprised at my light skinned, blue eyed, blonde haired beauty. I've come to the conclusion that genetics are weird.
