i can count on one hand
the number of times
the big girl's hair
has been allowed to
air dry...
{besides swimming}
she is seven.
that is a lot of
blow outs!
she has my hair:
straighter than straight
and thick
it is not a pretty sight
without a blow out.
so every night
after shower or bath
we make the trek to the bathroom
we assume our positions
and start the process...
we blow dry
we sing
we talk
we act silly
we make faces
we connect
and i love it!
i have never once thought
"ugh, i have to blow dry her hair"
it just never gets old!
{maybe i have missed my calling!}
{i guess if my pink slip is not rescinded i'll head to beauty school!}
so tonight...she sensed i was
in a funk
i told her it was a combo
of a bad mood
and being tired
i noticed her trying to lift my spirits
we go in to dry her hair
and immediately
i am lifted
we talk
we goofed off
and i asked her...
"do you like when mommy dries your hair?"
she lit up and nodded, saying,
"i like it because it is me and you!"
her blow out saved me from a blow out!

awww how sweet!!!!
we all need a little one on one time with our kids!!!!
So nice! I sometimes blow dry my daughter's wavy hair and she likes to pretend we are at the beauty shop. Then she asks if I'll iron it too because that is what mommy does to her hair! What wonderful memories to have with our kids!!
aww that almost me me cry!!
awww echoed here too! so sweet! I WISH my lilest bean would let me do her hair
that is a sweet memory for you and Livy---I remember when I was little my mom would sit on the floor infront of a chair and I would sit on the chair and comb her hair..I still remember. Can you think of a nice memory you and I did? let me know if you do...Mom
You are such a good mom! I never blow out my girls hair. I am sure they would love it. I will have to do it for them!
XOXO

I remember when my mom would wash my hair in the kitchen sink and we'd play beauty shop. Such fond memories!
Aww! I love it! Happy POW
Love it. So very sweet. Makes your heart smile!!!
So precious. I loved it. They have a way of lifting our spirits, don't they.
Very sweet! It's amazing what common moments can become bonding opportunities and lasting memories!
This is so sweet!!
How sweet. What a great bonding time for you and your daughter!
It's lovely when our smalls ease our frustrations instead of cause them.
This is so sweet. You totally get the mommy thing:)
It's all about soaking in these precious moments.
That's so sweet!
Happy SITS / Feature!
Made me remember how when DD26 was in middle school I had to blowdry her hair and then French Braid every day for school! Memories!
That is really awesome....it's just awesome that you guys can share moments, even in the simplest of tasks....
This is adorable. Cherish those special moments!
how sweet is that?! i hope i have those special mommy-daughter moments!
Visiting from SITS...I love that one one one time with my daughter. I sit and listen most of the time because she becomes a chatterbox, but I learn so much about her. The real her deep down that she only shares when we are comfortably together and alone. Priceless sharing moments. I try to make them as often as possible.
oh so sweet!!
Gotta love how kids put it in perspective!
How sweet! I have boys with buzz cuts - so no blow-outs for me. Bummer.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!
What a great thing to say! You have such a sweet girl!
I cant wait for my baby to start talking! Hopefully she'll have nice things to say to me...
:)
how cute :) Happy SITS Day again! Hope you enjoyed it!
That is awesome. Those are memories she is going to have forever, when she's all grown up every time she does her hair she'll have happy memories to go with it!
That is sooo cute!
How very sweet! Thanks for sharing.
