They were taking all the girls hair out to redo their braids or knots. I don't relish the thought of learning how to do this. I heard it takes quite a bit of time and practice.
I can't do it and most of my friends/slash relatives pay someone else to do it. It's expensive in salons but there's usually some neighborhood kids who do great braid work for literally a fraction of the cost.
She is sooo cute! Thanks for sharing the photos. It was a great reminder for me to resume prayers that your little girl will come home soon.
I have seen lots of little girls getting their hair braided in salons here. They add little beads, clips and even feathers! : ) I think you could take her to a salon a few times and watch to see how it is done.
She has such a bright little smile and those big eyes are so full of life! Still Praying!
Catrina, if I were you, I would put an add in the paper and see if their is a fluent french speaker that could help you with a few basic lessons before she gets there. Also if it seems like someone you could trust, you could use her/him as an emergency translator should a medical or otherwise difficult emergency should arise. From experience this really helps kids to feel more comfortable at least initially. Amazingly I found a woman who was fluent in portuguese right before we left in Toccoa! I will be praying that the right person comes along : )
we prayed for her in circle just this morning...i'm gonna make this a daily thing till she gets home. love you guys, and she is beautifully adorable!!! :):)
Oh wow you do have alot going on. I know how that is . Just trying to catch on some blogs I used to visit alot. HOpe to read more on your blog but see you are adjusting to all the newness in your life.
I follow the blog of one woman who adopted her two youngest girls from Haiti and learned how to do their hair. I am not sure who taught her, exactly, but I am sure she'd be happy to tell you if you asked :)

I love her little fro. You could just put it in puffy ponytails. I know that's very "little girl" but she's so tiny. Maybe she won't mind:)
I thought in these pictures she looks like you, Catrina. She is precious!
Oh my! She is absolutely adorable--with and without braids!
Blessings,
Sarah
I'm pretty sure Melody speaks french.
