Braids

My daughter has the most beautiful hair.
It is thick, with shiny, golden highlights that sparkle in the sun. And it is long. So very long. (It almost touches her little booty.)
Last night, she asked if I would braid it so that her hair would be curly in the morning. I was THRILLED to do it because she rarely lets me braid her hair. (She hates braids for some weird reason.) I did two French braids as tightly as I could just before she went to bed.
This morning, she ran into my room and shouted “Mommy! Can I take out my braids now to see how curly it is?” She was so excited to see her pretty curls.
I carefully took out each braid and ran my fingers through her thick, wavy locks of hair. As soon as I was finished, she ran to her room to look at herself in the mirror.
She gasped.
“Oh my Gosh! My hair looks exactly like Taylor Swift’s hair!” She exclaimed, proudly.
I have a feeling I’m going to be braiding her hair every night for a while.

    Wow, that’s a lotta hair on that little girl! It came out really pretty.
    French braids confound me. I cannot figure out how to do them at all.

    WOW! that is a lot of hair. I use to do that with my daughters way before Taylor Swift came about.
    I miss those days.

    Y,
    I just had to pop out of Google Reader to comment. That photo montage is STUNNING. You are one of my favorite photographers, “pro” or not. Seriously.
