On the rare occasion that my mom wasn't available to do our hair, my dad would do the ONE hairstyle he knew. And this is where it gets politically incorrect. The hairstyle was what my parents called Indian Braids. It was one of my very favorite ways to have my hair done, mostly because it meant that my dad did it.
Nowadays, I don't have much hair. Definitely not enough for braids. And the girls, well, they've got a plethora. And being that school's officially in session, each morning requires a new hairstyle. And so, I whipped out the Indian Braid from my arsenal.
Basically just a low, right behind the ear braid. I think it looks classic.
And Abbie loved it. Wanted them again this morning. I'm really loving having her hair longer. Which is why when she decided that she didn't like her bangs last week and took the scissors to them... I didn't respond like last time. I simply cut her some bangs.
Abbie asked me what these kind of braids were called. I told her that MY PARENTS (because it's okay if THEY'RE politically incorrect) called them Indian Braids. But if someone asked, just call them braids. I'm embarrassed.

SO cute! Some days I miss having hair options with Macy. I don't miss the screaming tizzies, though. ROFL.
doing hair is just about the only thing that makes me a little sad to not have a girl. so cute.
Ahh...the simple days of indian braids.
so, so cute! As much as I LOVE Kelly's hair, her crazy curls take away from the simpleness of this hairstyle. It looks perfect on Abbie!
And screw political correctness. Seriously. The kids not even being allowed to say "sit Indian Style" w/out getting in trouble? Gay. That's right. I said gay.
I remember your Lonng braids, and to see all the Solter girls with braids was always so cute! My daughter loves them too!
Hello. Google Reader recommended your blog to me tonight and I decided to check it out.
I just wanted to say that your photography is BEAUTIFUL. You probably hear that all the time, but I wanted to say it myself. I really enjoyed all of the great lighting and angles. What a talent.
And, yes, your drooling baby is adorable, as are the rest of your children. Thanks for letting me take a peek!
