I absolutely love my little boy's curly, curly awesome hair. I'll never forget that when we brought him home, he was bald and had two little tiny hairs that where long enough to make a curl on the back of his head. Since then, we've watch him grow a little fuzz, then a full head of hair, then a full on wild stack of ringlets. Oh, and they were precious. At bath time, they stretch out nearly 2/3 of the way down his back. Then curl into these awesome ringlets before snapping into spikey curls with the help.
For me, as his mom who knows from where this little man came and all that he's been through... those long curls were more than just hair. You see, hair isn't necessary. If you don't a lot of extra nutrients- your body kind of shuts down operations on the unneeded hair. Every time I'd see that mob of curls, it would remind me of the fact that he is happy, healthy and thriving. Its kind of been a meter of how far we've come.
Love my baby boy :)
Although adorable in the bath and precious to this mama's heart...
at some point you really do need to cut your kids' hair.
So, after much delay and a little sadness in my heart we gave our good friend Yonga a call.
She is a native of Liberia and is lovely both inside and out.
She did a great job!
Even trimmed it out around the ears like a real stylin' little boy.
And, just like that- I had a little boy. Yikes, how time flies.
Thanks, Yonga!
