Hello everyone and happy new week,
I hope you all had a beautiful weekend.
My weekend was really hectic,I wish I could get use to it,but I guess no one can be used to stress.
I would have shared this earlier but I had issues with my phone memory card and I couldn't access my pictures.
But am glad I could get a few and am gladly here to share with you my journey in motherhood.
I decided to braid my daughter's hair just to cut down on some expenses.
It was a beautiful thing for her because she usually complained each time I sent her to her hair stylist.
I was really grateful that I had time for her,motherhood has taught me a lot,and has made me to be more effective than i usually would have been.
I had to learn how to sew, knit,braid etc
Though am not really perfect in some areas.
First step
At first I was confused of what style to braid her, because their school rules does not permit any form of attachment on their hair,I knew it would be simple and faster since am working with her natural hair only.
So I divided the centre of her hair,I created a circle design on it and I started braiding .
Second step
After the circle design,i parted her hair again and i started braiding
Next step
I continued that way, one after the other
it was a bit disturbing as my one year old
baby was distracting and disturbing me.
At intervals I would try and attend to my baby before continuing with the braiding .
I know kids are so demanding but I usually count it a privilege of being a mother.
Thankfully my second daughter really cooperated with me as I kept braiding her hair.
Next step
I was glad she didn't cry during the process because it would have made matter worst.
I tried to be fast as possible,during this time, i had finished the down part and i proceeded in making the middle part.
I can braid faster but i have difficulties in dividing the hair to get straight lines.
I noticed my daughter was getting tired and sleepy so i engaged her with me some discussion so that she doesn't sleep off on me.
We started communicating,she kept telling me didn't stories I couldn't have imagined.
Well, I guessed motherhood is more of a responsibilities than the name itself.
My target was for me to finish her hair on time so that I could braid my first daughter's hair who was waiting patiently for me.
I know if I had taken her to her hair stylist it would have save time,but her happiness was my concern and i needed to cut down on some expenses.
In the process of making her hair,i guessed we bonded more,we communicated more and it created more of a mother and a daughter relationship.
I seized the moment,i told her she was my friend and I love her, telling her to be a good girl and never to be sad but she should be happy always.
Dear friends,here is our finished hair.
I hope it's fine.
