That's such a sweet story, especially how your wife (likely) enlisted your daughter's teacher's help in her absence. It's also adorable that you've taken the time to learn how to do your daughter's hair.

My dad could braid my hair, and the braids were decent, if my head was you know...rope. Perfect as the actual braids were, they were always too tight and it felt like I was getting an instant facelift. I didn't need one at 10. :)
