Hair and a little of Shirley Temple

When I was sitting in the Hospital one of the many promises I gave Jana was that I would always make sure she had cute hair. I thought of all the people I had seen with Down syndrome and they all had the same short hair cut. I think now that it is because it is easy to take care of they can be independent ect. But come on what 40 year old woman wants that look:) One of my Best friends called me from the gym and said she has just worked out and saw a young woman with Down syndrome and that she looked beautiful with blond long curly hair. That she could imagine Jana looking like that some day. I promised Jana that as long as I was living I would help her style her hair and put make up on and whatever else I could to help her feel like a "woman". What I did not know when I made that promise is that I had a full blown Diva on my hands:) She will only let me put her up in pig tails if she is sitting at her Beauty parlor. She loves getting dolled up and I love helping her:) She is my Pretty Princess. We had so much fun curling her hair the other night with sponge rollers. She was so cute she kept touching her hair all day with her cute little pink painted fingers.
