Designs...no..I mean PaTteRns!

Ok so my nephew gets his hair braided about every 2 weeks. He has this thing where he has to have something extra going on with his braids. Keep in mind that he is 5. He can't just have straight backs, he must have what he calls "pat-ter-ens". So.. One big braid, one little braid, one big braid, one little braid.. and so on. Either that or crazy styles like spider webs or something like that. The crazy thing is you cant fake him out, he knows what he wants and will tell me in a heart beat if it is not the right "Pat-ter-ren". His hair is long so he likes to show off for his friends and lets it be known that he deffinately does not want a hair cut. Kids are small but they know what they want. I just thought that it was funny to here him fuss at me because his hair was not in the design he asked for, even though it totally was.. so I thought.
