Beads and braids.
I only have a couple of minutes literally, so I am just going to show you some pictures of Ayana's hair during and after my attempts at braiding and beading.
She was sooo good and sat for almost 2 hours while I made little box braids and threaded pink and white beads all over!
My two older girls sat with me, threading the beader, bringing Ayana little snacks and we all just chatted away. Dave came in and said that it was like being back in Africa...all the women chatting and doing hair together.
It is very much a part of African culture for the women to do just that. Very relaxing, very social and friendly...it was a fun time. So, here are some of the pictures...isn't she a little princess!

Thanks for this post. As silly as it sounds, during our wait this is one of the things I think about. I can barely manage to curl my bangs in the morning so I know this will be a huge adjustment! I look forward to getting tips from people such as yourself! Cheeers.
WOW!!! That really is impressive. I really have no idea as to the gender of the children we will be blessed with, but deep down i would love to braid for my daughter, in the beautiful way you have done. :)
Super job! She's adorable!
What a darling! Boy, is she getting to be a big girl!
