Hazel's Hair and ABC's

Settling in back at home after our whirlwind of a trip (that post will need to come later as it will take some time to put together!), Hazel enjoyed finding all of her favorite things back. This ABC book has been a recent favorite and she is really interested in learning the song, so far she has "a,b,c" and then rhythmic sounds after that 😅. Hazel started reading the ABC book to herself after I read it one afternoon and I was enjoying her variation of what each page said, I managed to catch a little bit of it on video and I can't get enough of it!!!

Aunty Albany did a cute braid in Hazel's hair when we were down for Aunty Genoa's wedding. I was inspired to attempt some braiding of my own. So one day after a bath I tried some braiding while Hazel played with the running water in the sink.

It's a bit hard to make out, but Hazel discovered that the little medicine cup works as a "drain plug" and it took some doing to get it unstuck!

Hazel requested another warm bath the next evening, so I tried another braid. I was rather proud of the results, but sadly it didn't stay in very long. It loosened as it dried and after Hazel slept on it only the back stay in and the front had all fallen out, which was too bad as the goal was to keep the hair out of her eyes.

It took a bit of doing to get Hazel to bed that evening, and once when Jared checked on Hazel it took him a few seconds to find her. Can you find Hazel?

Then I turned the light on to take a better picture, as she wasn't sleeping anyways 😛

The next day I gave up on the braids, and while Hazel played with the tap water I figured out how to get all of her hair into one ponytail. (when I try two ponytails they always end up lobsided)

Thinking s😊he might just end up being a ponytail girl like her Mama.
