Braids

Leia’s hair is long, thick and tangles easily. She hates dealing with all the snarls and knots but she also wants to grow it longer.

She was enthusiastic about learning to braid it herself, so last night we sat down with a practice board and three colors of the thickest yarn I could find.

Leia got the hang of things pretty quickly and even practiced with her eyes closed, since she wouldn’t be able to see what she’s doing when she braids her own hair. I figured another week of practice and she’d be good to go on her own. 

I sent her off this morning with hair I braided . . . and she came home with hair she braided. Apparently Leia and her friends practiced braiding her hair during lunch and recess. Looks like she won’t need that extra week after all. #SuperProudGrandma
