Erin Napier Shares Daughter Helen's Heart-Warming Reaction to Her French Braid Fail

Erin Napier is talented at many things. But French braiding her daughters' hair? Not so much.

Fortunately, four-year-old Helen doesn't seem to mind one bit.

"I cannot French braid," the Home Town host wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of her latest failed attempt at her daughter's hair. "I have tried, and I have tried. I watched all the YouTube videos. I can paint and I can make pottery, but my hands are absolutely unable to braid my daughter's hair."

"After trying for 30 minutes, this is what I had done and I was supremely frustrated," Napier added.

But it was little Helen's reaction to the botched braid that really struck the mom of two.

"Helen asked to see a picture of it, and I showed her this," Napier continued. "She cringed so slightly, raised her hand to touch it, smiled big and said, 'Oh mommy you did such a good job. It's still pretty.' And my eyes watered, and I told her I would take it out if she didn't like it, and she said, 'No! I love it. It IS a French braid. You're a good mommy.'"

"And that's how you get a caramel milkshake, Helen girl," she jokingly concluded.
