Dear Friends and Family,
P doesn't like getting her hair cut. There's no ifs, and, or buts about it. She's willing to attempt it to please us, but she really doesn't like it.
I'm torn. Do we give her the space to outgrow her fears and let her hair grow while we wait her out? Or, do we continue with the haircuts and hope for the best? She's so good, it's hard to not cut her some slack on the one thing she's not good with. Especially since she's afraid of it for some reason.
Saturday, since P was grounded, we couldn't do our normal routine. Instead, she went to the airport to play in their indoor playground. Doesn't seem like much of a grounding, but I didn't have it in me to come down hard on her since she was resolved to getting her hair cut on Sunday.
Sunday, we went to the salon. She braved out half the haircut, and then sobbed her way through the second half. We still gave her a haircut sticker, took her out to her favorite diner and let her open her last present since she didn't flat out refuse to get her hair cut, but I still feel bad over the tears and crying. Also back are her favorite cherry glasses and cookies at the bagel shop.
Mr. mouse's highlight for the day was taking P sledding. I wasn't sure how it'd go down, but she really enjoyed it. We went down the hill until P got tired. Then, we made snowballs and "threw" them into the fields until P got more tired. Then, we walked to the car. P was ready to pass out. But, I kept talking to her until we got home. Then, she insisted on opening her last present before falling asleep in her crib.
To round out the weekend, I got some good house organizing done and we dropped $700 on unexpected car exhaust work. It was a fun weekend. P looks adorable in her new haircut, the car sounds a thousand times better than it did on Friday, and I had a blast sledding with P and Mr. mouse.
Cheers!
