Janae is interested in ponytails and braids, mainly from watching the princesses and admiring her older cousins. But although she says she wants a braid, she is not usually willing to sit still long enough for her very inexperienced mother to actually put one in.
This morning, though, Benjamin slept in until 10:00, so we had lots of time for "girl stuff"--dancing to princess songs, dressing up, putting on new nail polish . . . and then finally, when I suggested a braid, Janae was eager to try.
Not the most even, or the most skillfully braided braids, but I thought they looked pretty good for this stage in our mother/daughter development.
I thought I'd take a few pictures to show Jason later.
Because I had a feeling that by the end of the day they would look like this.
It actually only took about an hour :) Someone seeing Janae now would never know that her mother actually spent half an hour doing her hair--they would probably wonder if she had a mother at all! I guess we have many years of practice ahead of us. . . .

Janae looks so cute with braids!!! It gets way easier when they have more hair too:)
Just like Anita said it is much easier when they have more hair to put in the braid. You should have taken a picture of the side and back to get a complete view! Ben slept in until 10:00, what time did he go to bed?
