She-She-La-La Haircut
So Mommy decided it was time to get a “big girl” haircut. On Friday, which was Miss Diane’s last day as my teacher, Mommy packed me up and we headed to see Alex. I asked Mommy before getting into the car, “Is Alex a boy or a girl?” Mommy assured me that Alex was a girl. All was right with the world.
I took a small nap during some traffic congestion on 465 and before I knew it, we were at DL Lowry. As we walked in, I took surveillance of the surroundings. No indoor playground like Cookie Cutters, no movies to watch like Cookie Cutters, no horsies to sit on while getting a haircut like Cookie Cutters, and no other kids running around screaming like Cookie Cutters. How good could this place really be?!?! Well, I soon found out that this place was pretty cool! I got to sit next to Mommy while she got her hair washed in a big tub. And get this, they DID have a movie screen…but all it showed was “relaxing images of kaleidoscope flowers.” Not exactly the Strawberry Shortcake movie I had in mind, but it was okay.
When it was time for Mommy to get her haircut, I sat next to her in a big “trendy” chair while Alex did her magic on Mommy. I think Mommy was nervous about how well I would behave, so she handed me her phone and said, “Here, talk to Daddy.” Awesome! I grabbed the phone, flipped my crossed legs over the side of the chair, and carried on a muffled but lengthy conversation with my daddy. SIDENOTE: Alex got a real kick out of listening and watching Morgan be super girly. I, on the other hand, just had flash forwards of what we were going to be in for during her teen aged years!!
Soon, Daddy showed up to hang out with us. He walked back with me while I got my hair shampooed in the big bowl. I asked when the “real” movie was going to start, but he said that the kaleidoscope flowers was all movie player had in it today.
I was very good while getting my haircut (no worries-nothing drastic, a couple of inches, but TONS better in the haircut department)all the while I was looking around at all the pretty bottles and told Daddy which ones Mommy has at home. (Thanks for blowing my cover, MorganLee!!). Daddy asked Mommy if it would be a good idea to own some stock in this place since we already have so much invested in it. I don’t know what that means.
Before we left, Alex helped my try on some lip gloss and got Daddy to model some really pretty bracelets, too. After tootling around Target for a few minutes, we headed home and put Daddy and me right to bed. Mommy said we were going to have a big day of furniture purchasing and packing to do in my room the next day!

So, you got all dolled up like a grown up lady, huh? I’d like to see you very soon so I can properly check you out! I bet you are looking good!
I know how stressful it is when your Mommy and Daddy pack all of your things into boxes, so if you need someone to talk to about it, give me a call. I can assure you that you do get all of your good stuff back in the end.
