First stop, Cartoon Cuts, where she got a trim and wanted her hair styled with the ends flipped out. Next stop, Gymboree, for dresses and hair bows and ribbons. Then, the nail salon, where she had her nails painted a funky shade of bluish lavender and asked the technician to put a "heart design" on her nails. Where she gets these ideas, I have no clue. I guess her fingernails were too small to paint on hearts, so the technician added some swirly design in white instead. She loved it. Then it was off to get gelatto. Which she promptly dropped all over the floor at CVS, so I had to buy a small tube of mini-M&Ms to stop the sniffles from progressing into a full-blown wail. Then we hit Borders Books, where she proceeded to read every Dora and Disney Princess book that was placed low enough for her to reach, while I re-read The Best / Worst Christmas Pageant Ever. Do you remember that book from your elementary school days? I loved it, and this time, as an adult, it was just as funny, if not more so. Or maybe because a day spent with a 6-year-old, filled with inane conversations about dresses and hair ribbons, really did a number on my brain cells.
Anyway, here are some pics:
Her fingernails
Close-up shot of the design on her nails (what's with that bubble-like thing on her nail?)
In one of her new outfits, by our Christmas tree, which looks really small and pathetic in this picture
