Ada finally started asking to cut her hair short. I’ve been suggesting it, but she has kept insisting she wanted long hair, so I let it grow. It was getting really long too! The problem? Her long, fine, really soft hair tangles. All the time. Badly. She can wake up or come home from school [...]

Ada humored me with a photo session tonight. Since she was patient with me while I curled her hair, she got to pick out more make-up. I typically let her use her sparkle gel and some of my blush for her photos as a bribe to get in front of the camera. Tonight she wanted [...]

A few large stuffed animals that were in there and not played with were set aside for Goodwill. Jay’s extra low bar was installed. Hanging clothes have been sorted through. Summer [...]

Ada wanted to have a Girl’s Day today. We dressed, went to the grocery so I could at least cover meals for the next few days. Then we came home, changed and headed to Clinton. We hiked about 1.5 miles on the North Shore trail. The last time we tried, the trails were flooded, and [...]

She’s getting better. The last time she made a salad, I helped her by giving her my formula for salad: greens, a nut, a fruit, a cheese (except for hers) and a vinaigrette. She made dinner tonight–a salad, she exclaimed! She said she wanted to make a coconut salad. Fine with me. She remembered my [...]
