We went over to my friend N’s house the other day – funny, we hadn’t seen them since November! and had sandwiches and dress-up. So nice to catch up; she’s a lovely lady.
When I was there we did N’s younger daughter’s hair too - N, like so many moms, finds her daughter’s hair a bit of a challenge. I have to say that all the advice I have got makes my life so much easier! I mean, from a friend suggesting I cut the girls’ hair myself (which I did, and had way less tangles!) to on-line buds recommending products, etc. Anyway, I taught her to do bantu knots. Right on! They looked really cute. (Although her daughter wasn’t that impressed. Toughcrowd, man! lol) My own girls, you can see that they had free hair for a day or two since we went swimming mid week. Yikes, it is so much more work, I find, to have their hair free than to have it braided… I have no idea what we’re going to do in the summer when we are going to the beach every day.
Anyway, I can’t wait to have lunch again. Although she’ll have to stock up on liver paté – between N, I and my two rugrats we practically ate them out of house and home. Yum. Paté.
I hear you on the free hair! Once Eskedar’s hair grew to a certain length, it became so difficult to keep it free and tangle free. The kids go to swimming twice a week, though, and we’ve been fine with braids or puffs. Yesterday she went swimming with free hair and looked like Elvis every time she came up for air!
How did you trim your girl’s hair, Nicky? Did you post on that because maybe I missed it!
Thanks!

I just measured the distance I wanted to cut it ont he shrtest part. Then I just took pieces all over their head and cut them to the same length. I should have done it a bit shorter over the ears, though, I think. But it got rid of all the tanglies.
Other parents put the kids hair in braids all over their head,, and then cut the braids to teh same length. I think this would work really well too!
Very cute pics! Wow, all the girls are sure growing!
Pate! My grand-mere made this when we where kids! I remember seeing the pigs head on the table!!! very yummy…the pate that is!
