Probably of no use to you whatsoever but the African women who use my mother’s childcare centre do their incredibly amazing braids while their children are asleep. These are refugee families who are following their own traditions.

man oh man … why do you have to start such interesting conversation when I have no time to read and write?!?!?

THe movers are coming in 19 hours and we are so not ready. And then I will be without internet access for –oh — who knows????

I’d love to share what I do with BlueJ — just cause… Hopefully I’ll think to do it later…

Somehow I lost the password for photos. Any chance you could resend it to me?

The pictures above look great to me. Excellent parts and neat braids. You sell yourself short when you say you aren’t good at it!

I can’t wait until Nat’s hair is just a titch longer. Today I made twists and knots. The twists are too short to stay knotted by themselves, so I use rubberbands and tuck under the ends. Knots are my all-time favorite. Nat won’t leave cute clips in either, though. I have to settle for colored rubber bands.

You know, some things are the same no matter what the race of the child. This is what I go through everyday with my older daughter. Except she has that superfine anglo-saxan blonde hair from her father. You can’t curl it, it won’t keep a barrette, it won’t hold a head band, everything just falls out. It seems the only thing that works are the Goody braided elastic ponytail holders. Non-braided doesn’t seem to hold. And does madison sometimes change her mind mid-styling?

I will offer my big girl two choices - let’s say one pony or two? and she’ll say NO I WANT A HEADBAND. So I go to put in the headband and when I’ve just gotten it on her right, she’ll turn her head, some hair will fall in her face and then she wants a pony. AAARGH.

I am in fear of the day my younger daughter finally grows hair long enough to do something with. Looks like she will have very curly thick hair like me, but for some reason, at 2.5 it’s still just wavy fuzz around her head. When I put ponies in her hair it looks like Jim Carrey’s Venus DiMilo…
