Budding

I am so excited. I washed my son's hair this past weekend, and latched a few of the more loose ones, admiring how quickly his hair grows. So, as I petted and loved on each loc, I realized that the first budding had taken place!

I believe I mentioned in the previous post that his ends had stopped unraveling; I was already excited to reach that milestone, but this past weekend, I noticed that there are 5 or 6 of his little babies that had clearly entered the loc'ing process!

So, while I was oohing and ahhing over the buds, my son's only question was and still is,

"Can I shake them yet?"

"Nah, not yet, babe. But we're getting there!"
