I remember going to bed with the foam curlers as a little girl. I would try to sleep so softly on my hair so the curlers would not fall out. When I saw that they still make those curlers I was so excited to put Ava's hair up in them. So I put her in the bath and told her that I had a big surprise for her, fearing that she would be less than enthusiastic about sitting still for 20 minutes while I rolled her hair. I produced the curlers and told her they would give her "Princess hair!" So of course she wanted me to put them in right away. Fight avoided! I did a small victory dance in my head, and started the rolling process. Upon completion she just looked adorable, and was so excited!!

She woke up in the morning, and I was a little bit scarred of the intensity of the curls!

But after a few hours, the curls relaxed and stayed perfect all day!!!

I also got a bit crafty today. I bought the most adorable dress for Ava right before we left the States. When I put it on her, I realized it did not fit at all. So I turned it into a skirt. Ava loves it, she calls it her "Mommy skirt" because it is like the long skirts that I like to wear! I think it turned out pretty well!!

Oh, the memories of foam curlers! That was a great idea to make her excited for them! I remember I'd always sleep terrible because I'd be so worried about messing up the curlers! This reminded me of you putting socks in your hair! :)
The skirt looks great too! You did an amazing job with the waist band.
Ooooh, I can't believe how old ang big Ava is getting...
Those were great memories, rolling your hair and just having together time. I loved it and miss it.
great job on the skirt! You are such an amazing person....sewing, cooking, home decorating, writing, photography to mention a few. All-around wonder woman!
She looks darling. You did a really nice job with her hair and her skirt. I remember wearing curlers like that to bed when I was a little girl!! Wow, I didn't know they still made them.
How cute! She is getting so big!
