Curly Hair & Babysitting Adventures

My week just doesn’t seem to be slowing down.  Yesterday felt like a shop til’ you drop kind of day.  I ran out of my favorite Curl Power spray, which forced me to go drop a pretty good chunk of change on a new bottle.  I can’t live without this stuff, I’ve been using it since High School and to keep a hair product that long is something out of the ordinary in my world.  Keep in mind, I’ve had this current bottle over a year.  It’s not very often that I wear my hair curly, unless I go to sleep with it wet and then it’s WW III on getting my hair back to normal, or at least to where I can go out in public normal.  If you have curly hair, you probably know what I mean.  I’ve only been able to find this product at Ulta and I’m thankful there is one in Norman so it’s not a huge hassle when I do run out.  I strongly recommend this product, it really works wonders.  A few new things I did pick up are made by Bed Head.  I haven’t used them yet, but plan to soon.  I’ll keep you posted on how they turn out, but from reading reviews I’m sure I’m going to love them.

To add a bit of excitement to my day I also watched my Mini-Me.  Her dad has been calling her my Mini-Me for awhile now, all on account because of her attitude and spunkyness.  Oh yes, this makes me laugh every time I hear it.  Mini-Me is an adorable kiddo (if I must say so myself) I met her back in February and I’ve watched her a few times since then.  She absolutely loves to give kisses.  I first realized this in February when we were taking photos and her parents told her to give me a kiss.  Let’s just say there was more tongue than anything else.  She has since perfected her kissing technique, so I got plenty of them yesterday on both of my cheeks, with and without tongue.  Yesterday did prove it’s new challenges because Mini-Me has learned the word “No” and even more so how to use it.  I did my best not to laugh, but some of the things she said were just too funny.  She kept telling her mom “No more Meds” or when I asked her to put on her shoes the answer was “No”; then she would go get her shoes and put them on.  Crazy kid.  I love her to pieces.  We played, danced and read a few books.  She’s learning how to twirl; something I taught her how to do after we watched Tinkerbell last time.  I love teaching her new things.  She even used a fork almost correctly yesterday while she was eating her dinner.  I’m going to miss her & her family while they’re out of town until October.  All in all I had a lot of fun hanging out with a 20 month old.
