On occasion, I have taken her with me to do something specific. But Saturday, God had just been prompting my heart to do something with her. First, she got her hair cut. But, it was a new stylist and we didn't communicate too well. Chloe ended up with a rather short hairdo! Over and over again, on Saturday she said something to me about her hair. I felt so bad!!! She just doesn't like it short. The good news is that it will grow. I've done crazy things to my hair on purpose and regretted it...so I can sympathize with where her heart is! And it hurts my heart.
After Krisann was went down for nap, Chloe was working on an art project. Out of the clear blue sky, I asked Chloe if she'd like to go get her toenails painted or would she rather do art. She literally looked like she was in shock. At that very moment, I realized that I needed to be more intent on spending some fun time with her. I asked her why she had that look and her response was she couldn't believe that I would want to do that. I, of course, told her I liked to do anything she liked to do. So off we went to the cheap salon near our home. At first, Chloe didn't want a pedicure she just wanted them to paint her toenails but after a bit of persuasion on my part, she finally relented.
What a fun time we shared together just getting a cheap old pedicure.
Saturday night as I was tucking her in, she reminded me of a teenager at church that had just gotten her hair cut short as well. So, it seemed after remembering that Julie had short hair...it might be okay for her. Thankfully, when we got to church on Sunday...guess who was one of the first people she saw...Julie!! So they had to pose for quick picture.
So now after a fun girl weekend with Chloe, I'm on a mission to make sure that I do more intentional girl things with Chloe!
