Hair

Tonight I did my first head of cornrows (sorry no pictures, I don't know where my camera is). The first two rows look really good, but then she got more tired and every row after starts off ok but ends far from the head. It's a lot to do her hair every day. 3 days ago I put her whole head in braids and took them down on the second day. Today, her hair looked great, but I knew it wouldn't last another night. I have to find a good silk nightcap that won't come off with her wild bedtime antics. I also need to get some silk pillowcases. I hope that makes a difference. Do you have any recommendations as to where I might find such things?

I know I mentioned my concern about RAD, but amazingly in the last 4-5 days there has been a complete change. She is still super friendly with strangers, but doesn't approach them. She is preferring me more and more. She calls my name-"mom" (sometimes she doesn't look at me when saying it, but it doesn't help when my mom responds to her). I don't know if the change has been a result of prayer or if she was just grieving. I don't know what month she was taken from her birth family. Now she is acting like a "normal" 2 year old with developmental delays. Thank God!
