I took Courtney to get her first hair cut. We talked about it all week. I decided to run there since it was fairly close. As soon as we arrived Courtney started to get scared. She wouldn't even let me get her out of the stroller. There was a lot of coaxing and I finally just pulled her out. She hid her face into my body and cried. I prayed for her to be brave. The she asked the stylist for a red cushion. She still didn't want anything to do with it. Then the stylist offered for her to sit on my lap. Perfect! She did great. I kept telling her how brave she was. I had bought her an "ICarly" episode on her phone. So she was able to watch that and be pre-occupied. We just got bangs and a trim on the back. It looks cute.
Since she did so good I took her to the candy store next door and let her pick a few out. There was also a little playground, so Courtney ate her snack and I fed Caylee Love. They gave her a balloon to have. She was having a blast with it on our way home, until it flew away. Just a little melt down, but she handled it well.
I was so proud of her. That night before bed, she prayed, "thank your for helping me to be brave for my haircut ...". It was really sweet.
