Day of Beauty :)

Lily and I had a nice girls day out on Sat. The faculty formal (prom) was that night, so I needed some serious help. Ben and Matt napped and we went out for some girl time. First, we went to get my nails done and as I was asking Lily to help me pick out a nail-polish color, I noticed she was picking out her own. I told her that this was a place for big people to get their nails done. "But mama, I'm such a big girl now". I tried the-you can paint your nails with Kayla tonight when mama and daddy go out-trick. Didn't work and Lil chooses the brightest pink possible. I let her hold the polish and sit with her book while I get my nails done. She was so patient, but I could tell she really felt her turn was next. I started to explain how there were only mommies in the salon and how I think they only do mommies nails here. Then she pulls out the big guns. Nana let me do it in Chicago.
Blast that Nana!! So, Lily got her tiny nails painted and was happy as a fluorescent pink clam. Luckily it cost $2 because it takes about 30 seconds to paint those itty bitty nails.
When we got our hair cut, Lily was very brave and cooperative. This is only her second haircut. The first was done by Auntie Meal before Erin's wedding. Meal went on and on about the princess cape and princess scissors and had special treats and everything. I wish we could have had a repeat, but Laura did a great job too. Daddy gave us both strict instructions to only cut off a little bit. I'll have to get some 'after' pictures up here.

How cute is that little butt on a stack of towels!
