Mommy Milestone: First Braid

I can remember a conversation I had with a childhood friend. The last month of my pregnancy he called in complete and utter disbelief that I was pregnant. He said his mom had told him but he wouldn’t accept it as truth ’til he spoke with me personally. When he realized we weren’t trying to pull a fast one on him, he told me he would pray I had a boy. Goodness knows you need a boy, he told me.

Shamefully I admit I was secretly hoping for a boy. When her head popped out I wondered what in the heck I would do with that head-full-of-hair! But I vowed to take a different path from my mom who never learned how to braid despite having 6 girls! So last Monday I attempted and accomplished my first braid. Now as raggedy and broke down as this braid looks, I still have one up on my older sister who hasn’t quite grasped the concept. Just gotta get my technique down pat and it’s on!
