I've gotten way behind on kid updates. So here's the latest on Miss Avery...she cut her hair (yes, her own hair) for the first time. With as much hair as she has, I suppose we all should've seen this coming. Fortunately, she cut the hair right above her ear, so the hair on top of her head covers it. Even though she cut a pretty good chunk of it, you can't really tell unless you look for it. Ave was quite proud of herself..jpg)
And she also got her ears pierced! She's very proud of her earrings..jpg)
No Teeth & Straight Hair
Tekia lost her two front teeth! Or as Avery says, "her teeth broke.".jpg)
But the biggest news is...she got her hair relaxed! This is a HUGE deal for African American little girls - a rite of passage, if you will. After all my endless internet research on black hair care, I was totally against it because of the damage it does to hair. But Tekia begged and begged, so Mom finally let her do it. And she LOVES it. Tekia has always wanted nothing more than to have long hair and be able to feel it on her shoulders. It usually gets a little crazy by the end of the day, but, when it's fixed, it looks very cute. Kia's a happy camper. .jpg)

No wonder Avery cut her hair,,,she wanted everyone to see her new earrings!
and Kia is cute no matter if her hair is straight or curly, teeth or no teeth!
cute, cute and double cute! love avery's earrings (the haircut still makes me cringe, but at least it wasn't a chunk right out of the front and back, like a little curly-headed girl I know).... tell tekia that she looks so sweet and sassy with her straight hair!
I told Kia last night that Dr. Tim could make her some teeth to go where the missing ones are until the new ones came in...she just needs to convince her mom and dad to pay for them.
