Turning over a new leaf?

I have been notoriously bad about fixing Kaia's hair. I do have a few excuses. First of all, I'm not good at doing hair. Beyond a ponytail, I don't have very many skills. I can do French braids, but they always seem like too much work considering my second excuse: Kaia doesn't like having her hair done so she usually destroys any attempt I have made very quickly. Well, today I ran across a couple of blogs almost entirely focused on these mom's efforts to make their girls' hair beautiful. Their hairdos are amazing. You can find these blogs here and here and here. I showed Kaia and pointed out how these girls looked like princesses, so she actually let me try a new 'do! (And, yes, she was Aurora again today.) This hairdo is 2 partial French braids, joined into one braid, and then a messy bun at the bottom. She left it in for about 2 hours while we did errands.



When Asher napped, Kaia wanted to do my hair. She put in tons of clips and she loves to put this smoothing stuff in (that I never use otherwise). She let me read my scriptures and then write some e-mails as she played, so it was worth it!
