braids

We did make time while waiting on visas to go to a little local shop and have the girls hair braided. They love it and so do I! I have not had to fix hair in almost a week. hoping to get one more week out of it and then find someone here to braid it. It was so funny though, annielynne was not about to leave without them doing something to her hair too. As soon as Ayden was done she went and jumped up in the chair and waited. Of course her hair is to short to braid so they put it in 6 pony tails. too funny. they just used regular rubber bands to put it up so was not fun getting down, but she loved it while it lasted. I thought it was really interesting too that they did not have pony tail holders there, they do not use them. They just braid their hair and it stays. They realized ayden's was not going to stay so they tied thread around the bottom of aydens hair. Addie's they had wet so it was staying but by the time we got out on the street it was starting to come undone. So we walked across the street and found a little ducan with hair stuff. They had beads and the ladies in there when I bought the beads started helping me but them in addie's hair. They just put two bead in and tie the bottom of the braid in a knot. They also had some colorful cloth pony tail holders so I used those in Ayden's hair, the women put those in to. I think they were having fun with this different kind of hair. they also put them in annie lynne's hair, so when she was all done she looked like she stepped out of a Dr. Seuss book. Most of the beads have fallen out of Addie's hair, it is just to soft to hold the knots, but we have found a few pony tail holders to help hold it up. Enough about hair, just thought it was so interesting and cute.
