Jan 17: For Family Home Evening we were talking with the kids about their Church Youth goals for the year. One of Avynlea's goals was to become better at braiding, to which Ryker scoffed at and said how easy it was and he could do it. That led me to invite Ryker to come and braid my hair and show us all how good he is at it. It took him quite. while but he was able to do it, maybe it wasn't the best looking braid but he did do it. 
Avynlea told him that a regular braid wasn't impressive, she can do those, she is talking about French braids and fishtail braids. Ryker was intrigued and wanted to try those braids so I briefly showed him how and he got to work. He started off with attempting a French braid but then quickly quit and said that was too hard. I then showed him how to do a fishtail and even put my hair in a ponytail so it would be easier for him. He started and then after struggling for a bit he added another hair elastic and called it done. That did not go as well for him but it was really fin having him try. Maybe he should be making learning to hair braid a goal for himself. His future daughters would love it!
After watching Ryker play around in my hair Rylee wanted a turn. She did one French braid and then decided she didn't want to do another one so on the other side she made a regular braid. She did a better job then Ryker but she also has had more practice, regardless it was a pretty fun turn of events.
