My mom graciously agreed to accompany me to my haircut appointment today to help watch Brianna. I wanted to make sure I got my hair cut this time before BabyBon was born, so my hair wasn't totally out of control. Brianna was curious as usual, making sure she checked everything and everyone out. As my cut was almost done, I asked Jennifer (my hair stylist) what she would charge and if she would mind possibly cutting Brianna's hair - you know, since we were there and all. I loved her response, and not just because "free" was part of the equation, but she said, "Oh... Nothing! There's no charge for a peanut cut, it will only take a minute."
Sure enough, Brianna sat so still and let her comb and cut her little hairs. Thanks mom for capturing a photo or two from your phone. I think she looks quite fashionable in the zebra print, don't you!
Brianna didn't quite know what to do so she just kept her head down most of the time. When Jennifer asked her to look up to cut the front, I had to keep my hand under her chin to keep her head level... it created quite the face as you can see in the mirror!
This weekend, Brianna took her first long distance trip with Gammie and Gamfie to go to the family reunion in Nebraska. She has been away for a weekend before, but something about being in a different state made it a little more challenging to take in. I'll admit, I had about ten minutes (maybe more) right away where I second guessed my decision and really wished I could call and ask my parents to turn around and bring her back. BUT, I put quite a bit of work into getting her ready and knew if I didn't let it happen, it might be a while before another opportunity presented itself. Plus, with baby number two only four weeks away, a little time away ended up feeling pretty good. I was able to get some extra sleep, mow the lawn without interruption, and even make some new curtains for Brianna's bedroom. (I'd show you a picture but the camera is currently in California with Jon on his adventure). Take my word.. they turned out pretty cute!
From everything I've heard and seen in pictures, she loved spending the time and playing with Gammie, Gamfie, and all the aunts, uncles and cousins. I'd say she was pretty tuckered out from the weekend because I put her to bed at 7:30 and she didn't wake up until I went in her room this morning at 9 just to check on her, and even then she didn't want me to take her out of her bed. Thanks mom and dad for taking her and creating some fun memories!
