Last night Rebecca and I went out for our monthly Mommy/Daughter date. We were especially excited about this one...it was Rebecca's first haircut! First she sat and watched me get my hair cut. She was pretty fascinated. She also did some coloring while waiting. Then she hopped in the seat. Rebecca wasn't so sure about the hair washing. It scared her a little...although later she said she liked it. She did very well holding still. She was very proud of herself. We just went with a trim (3-4"). Rebecca kept reminding the beautician "just a trim." She loves her long hair :) After the cut Rebecca asked for pigtails. And the beautician tried to get her natural curl to come through a bit.
After our haircuts we were supposed to go out for a special dinner. But the hair took a lot longer than expected, so it was already past 7! We went to the restaurant (The Rainbow grill...just one block over from the beautician), sat down, and Justin called and said Abram wouldn't last much longer. So we ordered our food to go and had a late dinner when we got home. It was still fun. I let Rebecca pick our dinner (we shared a meal). She chose chicken strips, mac-n-cheese and a butterscotch milkshake. We also got a salad with it. A simple meal, but she loved it.
We are really enjoying our Mommy/daughter dates. Time to start planning what we want to do in April!
