"Hey, if she's gets to be a
PRINCESS
then I get to be the
QUEEN!"
I'm a single mom with an amazing daughter! It all started when I decided I was tired of waiting to be a mom. In my search to find a little girl who needed a mommy I was led to the China International Adoption program. I actually started the process in 2005, got my paperwork to China on 1/13/06. China accepted my paperwork and gave an LID of 2/18/06. After waiting 33 months, I finally received my referral on 11/5/08 for the most beautiful baby in the world. She spent her first 11 months in Southern China just above the South China Sea and now she is home with her mama!! I hope you enjoy reading & looking at my blog as much as I enjoyed creating it. During the wait I was a research junkie for all thing IA so please check out all the links in the sidebar under "Find it Here"...it will show you the posts pertaining to that category. Best wishes to all. Stephe

How cute is that!!!
Cute!
I'm going to give you my advice on how I did pigtails. First, wet the hair, use a comb as it grips the hair better. Use those tiny ponytail holders that are about as round as your finger. Once you get it in, kind of roll it on the top so that the hair flattens back.
You can train the hair. K's was so straight and had no shape at all. Each time it was washed, I combed it the way I wanted it to go. Now her hair naturally falls the way I have combed it for years. My momma always said that hair can be trained.
She is getting cuter by the day.
Also, some of K's first pigtails looked like that. One day I picked up a student to take to the mall with me and K. The student was born in China and is Chinese. She was about 11 at the time.
When we were getting K in the stroler, she told me "One day I teach you to do her hair better." I didn't say a word....
She is so cute in her pigtails! I can't see how you did them, though, did you use those tiny clear bands or something else. I think that Nora might finally have enough hair for piggies now, but I'm not sure what to use and with the way she squirms around, I'm not sure I could get a band in her hair. A little clippy would be easier...
To Cute!
Oh how adorable! =)
