My Daughters, My Joy!
Thursday September 2, 2010
Serena just started kindergarten and with that came a new habit…. Picking out a new hairstyle everyday. Some kids choose their clothes the night before in our house it’s hair! She is so into her hair these days that she even has her wedding hairstyle picked out!
At first I was reluctant. I mean really, we’re pulling out hairspray and gel and bobby pins each morning before school? Because I know, it’s not hectic enough as it is! Haha! But she is so cute, I gave in. And long as it doesn’t involve (for now) curling iron and red carpet hairstyling we’re good, I told her.
So she sits there as I brush, and spray and twist and pin down, totally thrilled, with hardly enough patience to run to the mirror. “Maman remember, I like my hair FLAT” (I finally discovered that flat means slick). Then she takes the brush and methodically slicks her bangs to the side. Serena loves her bangs short, very short, and has been known to take matters in her own hands. All while the primping is happening Jasmine 8, (my other daughter), and El Genio (Daddy) complain loads about the stinky smell of the hairspray. It’s’ hilarious and of course we won’t stop.
“Oh I love it Maman, Thank you!” makes me melt every time. I love being a mom.

Hope you all have a great Thursday. 
The weekend is right around the corner, I know you can’t wait! We have a couple of weddings coming up that I am very excited about.
Can you feel the arrival of Fall in your part of the country? Many of my Facebook friends were mentioning it this morning. We’re still SUPERDUPPER hot down here in Key West, fall won’t be here probably until October. It’s all good I love the heat!
OMG I love it!
Wow!!!! Lol You are Setting yourself up here. Truuuuust me, I would know !!! “Thanks Mora” :D
Oh my goodness. My mother used to pick out my outfit and lay it on the bed in the guest room the night before. I never really cared until one night I was curious and snuck downstairs for a peek…I was so upset to find this pleated jumper skirt that I HATED. from that point on, I needed to be part of the process! I was 5.
Jessica, that’s what happened when you have a mom as a hairdresser.:) Gotta love it though!
Willa, that’s so cute! 5 years old is a turning point in a little girls life when it comes to picking out outfit. Jasmine and Serena prefer that I… do not partake in the process. I can buy them clothes, and they always love them, but THEY put them together as outfit.
