Maddy had her first 'big girl' hair cut today! Before we left I told her that today was a special day for her and she gets to go get her hair cut the same way mommy does. I reminded her about how Oobi, Shane and Henry all had their haircut (Noggin TV shows on haircuts) and she got very excited! She yelled, "Scissors! Maddy cut! Snip, snip, snip!" So off we went! When we pulled into the parking lot Maddy became really excited again yelling, "Maddy haircut! Yeah!" There was one woman in front of us, but even then we only had to wait about five minutes. It was enough to get us situated and get coats off and the like. Maddy watched everyone very intently in all the stages of getting haircuts. When it was her turn she ran over to the chair and hopped right in! They even drapped the towel around her and she sat really still and stared at herself in the mirror. She was such a big girl and I think she was so excited to be a big girl. Her bangs are a bit short now, but that's because they fixed the job I last did on them. :) Her back is all one length, right about collar length. I will hopefully get a good picture when she gets up of it. It's not too crazy, but it was all different lengths before and now the back looks so nice.
After her haircut we went over to Costco to pick up a few things we needed. Then home. As I was bringing the stuff in the house two cars pulled up and it happened to be the remodelers Matt thought were coming yesterday. He wrote it in his day planner wrong. So I showed them around and called Matt who came home to meet them as well. Maddy enjoyed seeing daddy but missed seeing him go again. She almost cried. Poor kiddo. I was able to get a bit of food into her and now she's down for a nap. Hopefully she stays down for another half hour or so to make it a full two hour nap.
Speaking of sleeping! She slept all night last night! It was the first time since this cold started that she slept all night! It was so nice for all of us and I think we're both feeling 100% better today. I'm still going to take it easy this afternoon, but for the most part, we're feeling good!
Well, that's about it here. Need to balance the checkbook some! Have a good one!
