This is one of those things I’ve been meaning to post…since wintertime. But since it feels like winter today, I thought I’d find a minute or two and finally get to it.
A few months ago, Jaia and I went out for one of our ‘Ladies who Lunch’. We planned to get all dressed up (her) and go to a restaurant, just the the two of us to celebrate…us.
The night before, we decided to put curlers in Jaia’s hair. I bought some of those old school foam rollers and after she got out of the bath, separated her hair into small sections and rolled them all up. It was perfect. Until she went to bed. Within 10 minutes she poked her head out of her room and called for me.
“These curlers hurt my head, Mama”.
I don’t blame her. I remember my mom putting the same type of rollers in my hair and it always pulled in a place or two. But those pulls were unbearable when you’d lay your head on the pillow. So we took them out. No curls.
The next morning, Jaia decided she wanted to try again. So try we did. Curlers went back in and a few minutes before we were set to leave, we took them out.
Voila. Curly Q,

She loved her curls. I loved her curls. She would linger as she passed the mirror to make sure she got a good look at herself.

She was also dancing more that day. Curls = twirls.

Looking back at these photos makes me want to schedule another LWL, stat. The order of the day that day? Curls. Maybe for both of us this time. Curls = twirls. And I could definitely use some twirls.
Auntie Jenny - Very cute! I used to use those curlers too. To avoid the uncomfortable sleep, I put a pony tail on top of my head and then put the curlers in the top. The ends are only curly then but at least you get a good sleep!! 🙂
Carolle & Gerry - you look great!!! love that picture.
