I'll never forget the first time I saw Mocha Girl One (HmG) . She was an emergency c-section, and had to spend several days in NICU. She was born four days past her estimated due date and looked huge in her incubator. I imagined her to be especially delicate and feminine. I couldn't wait to frill her up, and more importantly to do her hair ! The only reason she wasn't sporting a barrette the day we took her home from the hospital, was because the one I brought to match her lacey outfit, slid right out. Mocha Girl One's baby hair was silky straight and fine. As the weeks rolled by, it became wavier until she had a lovely curly fro. I washed it all the time . I brushed it several times a day .

Oh, I love this!!! I'm a homeschooling Mom as well, and I started teaching my daughter AT the hospital. We had our books there and we (my husband and I) read to her. We ALWAYS homeschool, ALL the time... Whether in the house, outside, on our field trips, in the grocery store, etc...Also, I'm a music mom as well!!! I think music helps my little Choca to retain the information and knowledge I give to her... At 2.5 years old, she knows her abc's, 1-30, sign language, shapes, reading (getting better with that) and we're now working on her math now!! A lot of people have said that I'm doing TOO much with her, but I believe that we are RIGHT on time. She speaks VERY well and we hold awesome conversations with each other!!! I also have 2 older daughters who are in public school, and I homeschool/unschool them when they get home... It's greatness!!
