We had a nice, quiet evening at home tonight, playing with toys, watching the end of Shrek 3 and putting some new braids in Sophia’s hair. I love these kinds of nights!

I’m always trying to think of new hairstyle for Sophia. We’ve done box braids, big twists, puffs, piggyback braids, veil styles and lots of cornrow variations, including criss-cross cornrows.

I’ve gotten a few questions lately about the sleep caps that Sophia wears to protect her hair when it’s in a style. Here’s a picture if you need a refresher:
Not only are the sleep caps a predictor of Sophia’s future career as a surgeon, they are also very helpful in minimizing the fuzzies when her [...]
