Second, the other night I actually followed through on a whim to go to one of my dear, long time friend's volleyball coaching gig at my old middle school. I tried to talk myself out of it because I was tired/achy/did not have any make-up on, but instead I put my butt in gear, got Scarlett and myself ready and off we went. I am so glad I did! The volleyball girls are far more advanced at that age than in my day, so it was pretty fun to watch, plus they won. Yea Trojans! Also, Scarlett had a blast dancing around and absorbing attention from the crowd...oh yeah and nearly killing me. That's right, I forgot I was pregnant when she darted toward the edge of the court while the girls were playing. I started to "chase" after her, but my gut screamed a big fat "NOOOOO" in the form of a sharp muscle pain causing me to trip on my flip-flops. Thank goodness for my athletic prowess, I was able to avoid a gigantic biff and Scarlett veered away from the court at the last possible moment. So, the point of all this is that I was so glad that I followed my intuition and got off of my butt because I miss my friend...not only were we able to catch up a bit after the game, but it also happened to be her last for a while (hopefully :)). Oh, and did I mention she took some cute pics of Scar too?!
Finally, I forced Scarlett into the bath today - way overdue! There is just nothing sweeter than a freshly bathed child, at least for a few moments. Afterwards, as I dried her hair, I thought I should show off my handiwork (yes, cutting all of your dolls' hair really pays off, eventually)...
Obviously, there are some flaws in the cut, but I have to restrain myself and just put the scissors down after a while. If I didn't refrain from fixing all the flaws, she would probably have a buzz. Anyway, she gets compliments all the time not only on the color (which I pay $$$ to try to immitate on my own hair), but also the cut...which I must brag is quite flattering to her face, hair texture, and color.
