We've been treating the infection, and yesterday we hired two friends of Nahomie's to come over and put extensions in Wildarne's hair.
Here she is at the beginning of the process.
And here she is NINE hours later. (Literally.)
It's adorable. She's adorable. Nick thinks it's really cute but bordering on a Haitian version of JonBenèt Ramsy. And though she did not enjoy the process, she loves it. She told us today that she is beautiful. My heart smiled when she said that because she's right. The way I see it, $10 in extensions and $6.00 in labor (yeah, labor is cheap here... 2 people, 9 hours of braiding= $6.00 total) is a VERY reasonable price to pay to give a little girl the confidence she needs to tell us she's beautiful.

Completely beautiful! My heart is smiling too:-)
Her hair looks beautiful! I don't know how she could ever sit still for 9 hours! I remember your Mom's saying "It hurts to be pretty"! Also, I see Josiah eying her in the background. Maybe he needs some hair extenstions!
Stunning.
This brought a big smile to me on a dreary Monday! What a blessing that giving her some additional self confidence in her own beauty was so inexpensive!
Hi Gwen:
I am a friend of Taras so I like to follow your blog too!! I love her hair! We have twin girls that we adopted from Haiti in 2003...I think I may fly to Haiti to have extensions put in next time!!
Have a great night!
Greg was wondering if he could hire them to do his hair when he comes down.
Ignorant questions to follow:
1) How long will that last?
2) Does it damage the existing hair at all?
3) Does this mean the fugal infection is cleared up?
oh and
4) How do you say Wildarne?
Wildarne,
BELLE!!!!!!
She is absolutely beautiful! Glad that just a little hair gave her the ability to see that!
To answer your questions Becky:
1) about two months
2) no, it's just braided into whatever (very little) hair she has
3) no, we haven't been able to get the medicine in her yet, she throws it up
4) basically, will-den, but you swallow the n
