My Daughter's First French Braid

I remember being by tortured by my mother as a child. Her preferred method? The french braid. I would sit as she tediously carved lines into my hair. It had to be perfect you know! Well, I suppose it is my motherly duty to inflict this same torture upon my own daughter, now that her hair is long enough to accomodate said atrocity.

Ok, so maybe I didn't torture her but I did throw her hair into a loose french braid the other night simply because I realized I could. She loved it and made me add all the bows she could find. Isn't she just a doll?

All bows!

 

My handi-work:

My beautiful girl!

How cool, Lacey! I had a neighbor spend HOURS teaching me how to french braid my daughter's hair when she was little. :-)

I guess it's a good thing I had boys since I don't know how to french braid ;~)

Thanks everyone!

You make beautiful babies, Lacey! She is precious.
My daughter may be glad I never learned how to french braid. She always hated having her hair brushed or combed when small.

She looks just beautiful! You did a GREAT job, Lacey! I have no patience for doing that! I can never hold on to the strands of hair without it all coming apart! So, she really enjoyed it, eh? I remember when I was a kid, night after night, my Mother would put these "curlers" (they were made out of rubber, were pink, long, and clipped at the end). I used to stand there and complain the whole time she did it. Although I appreciate the effect, I couldn't tolerate standing there for the duration! ;-D Funny.

Oh, Loralei LOVES having her hair combed, brushed, put up... She even lets her brothers comb her hair which I think is very brave of her!

Nancy, I remember those curlers too! I would beg my mom for curlers! I hated sleeping on them though.
