My mother & I both had hair appointments Monday afternoon and took Averi with us. She's never had her hair cut or trimmed since birth, much less let someone other than me, her daddy, or family fix her hair. But lately I've been contemplating the idea of getting it trimmed...just enough to get the baby hair off & to see if it'll help thicken it up any (or so I've been told that cutting will help thicken it). No, I still didn't get her haircut, but Ms. Pam thought it'd be best just to let her "play" with her hair first to get her used to the idea of sitting the chair, being still, wearing the cape, etc....and for the first time I didn't have my camera with me! BUT...I did my my crappy phone camera to use so here is what I got.
She was a little unsure at first, but once Ms. Pam got started, she warmed up to the chair.
I think she's liking what she sees!!!
and what she liked best...the candy! Averi even got hairsprayed for the first time AND even got her lips painted with pink lip gloss! Such fun, such fun!! Little girls are so sweet!! Thanks Ms. Pam! I'm sure we'll see you soon...
Oh yeah---Averi says "I got haircut too!" haha!! Precious. That night she wouldn't let me wash her hair and she wanted to sleep in her new "haircut". Then, she still didn't let me take her braids out until last night for her bath...and I had to bribe her with cotton candy to do that! I guess I'm just going to have to start braiding her hair sometimes!
Hope everyone had a lovely day!! Here are some pictures of our little Valentine!
showing off her new books...
She's really getting to be a big girl now! Averi had her first dentist visit!! I am so proud of her, she didn't cry, fuss, or act ugly one time! And she wasn't scared at all. She got to sit in a magic chair & watch Dora while Ms. Nicole counted & tickled her teeth. It really helped that Ms. Nicole also happens to be her boyfriend Hagan's mommy! She was even good for Dr. Rayburn & told him her name was "Avey Coman" (her pronunciation) haha! Best part of it all, she's a new member of the No Cavity Club!! Way to go Averi!!! We want to say a special "Thanks" to Main Street Family Dentistry for making her first dental trip a pleasant one!!!
It never fails!! Come January, Averi always gets sick. She started out with tonsillitis, then bronchiolitis, and then an ear infection! It was bang, bang, bang---for 2 weeks straight we were stuck in the house. She was a good sport & took her medicines well, along with her many breathing treatments. We had many early mornings, grouchy days, and sleepless nights! Thank heaven for Disney movies, nail polish, and mega blocks!! Needless to say, we didn't get out & about too much mid-to late January. Hopefully, we'll have a better February!!
