[blparent] French Braid

Fri Sep 4 04:12:25 UTC 2009

Yeah, but even if your kid doesn't like it, you could hide it and bring it 
out to practice with when she's not around.  And if she catches you?  Just 
tell her you're practicing your braiding.  Maybe it wouldn't be so scary 
then.
Kids are sure funny about the things they're afraid of, aren't they.

>> Hello Jessica,

>> big
>> regular braid so you can get the hang of doing that nice and tight.  Then
>> try a french braid.  It might help if Lucy's hair is wet, so maybe do it
>> after a bath or shower the first few times.  Also, if she has a doll with

>> practice on that before you start with Lucy.  I'd think it would be much

>> Good luck,

>> Hello,
