She sat through a whole bath/conditioner/comb out with nary a whine and THEN moved straight into the high chair and munched on crackers and banana chips while I continued to mess with her hair for another 30 minutes. She was such a champ.
And I managed to do an actual style (other than her sweet little afro) for the FIRST time ever, really. We did flat twists (or something resembling them, anyway). She has six of them going halfway back and tomorrow we'll puff up the back so it's a bigger fro.
Lessons learned: TOO much shea butter right away is bad news. Slip-central. But we managed. And straight parts are way harder than they look on wiggly little ladies.
It might seem like no big deal, but for about ten thousand reasons, this is a big deal for me and Ms. V. Even if it falls apart overnight, this was huge. Little lady, I'm so proud of us.
