So I ran into this beautiful black woman and her 18 month old little girl who had braids and beads and was SO adorable.  She gave of her wisdom and showed me how to do it, so we made an attempt at beading Josey’s hair yesterday.  Considering I have never done it before, I think it turned out pretty darn cute!  It only took us 3 1/2 hours spread out over the course of the day.  She would sit still long enough to do about 3 braids and then we had to take a break…the only thing is that it makes her look even older than she already looks!!  She LOVES to shake her head back and forth because the beads click together.  It makes her giggle and then she does it again.  She is at such a fun age right now.
