So when I started on my dread journey a few weeks ago I decided that I'm going to let my sons get in on the action so they can enjoy the process just as much as I will. I let them root around in my hair a few minutes yesterday and find 'their' lock. You know, the one lock they loved above all the others. This one belongs to them and is dedicated to them. It's only been two and a half weeks and my hair is already very separated so this was a fun thing for them to do(check out my profile pics) as they love playing with my curls anyway.
They each chose one lock they loved the most. I'm keeping track of it and letting them monitor it's 'growth.' Anyway, about the orange I'll be wearing. My eldest(11 yo) decided that this junky little orange(fruit) charm he bought in a tourist trap store a while back would look just LOVELY in "his" lock. Okaaay. So after much thought I decided that we'll hold off on attaching this beauty until around St. Patrick's Day in 2012. That way I can do a yarn wrap of it with green, white, and orange. The Irish will be supporting the citrus industry in my hair next year. Can't wait. I promise I'll take lots of pics and post them here for all to see.
And so it goes. The boys are putting together a collection of all the things they want to decorate 'their' lock with once they're mature enough to hold wraps and beads and things. I'm drawing the line, though, at sticks and rocks.
