Lexie's 3rd Haircut

Driving home from getting some frozen yogurt for Andrew's preschool fundraiser (after which he told me he wishes he could live at the yogurt shop because I like all of the kinds of yogurt), Lexie said, "Mom, I want a haircut. Can I do it today?" So, we made a quick little detour & got her a haircut. (As well as one for Joseph.)

The donated:

Again Lexie wanted to donate her hair to Locks of Love. She loves her new "cuddly & soft" hair & wishes that she had a blanket made out of her hair because it's so soft. She cracks me up!

Also, I was reminded today of a sweet story about Lexie I'd like to document before I forget about it again. A few months back I asked Lexie to run out to the car & grab something for me. In the front of the car I had a baggie of those icky sweethearts from Valentine's day. I use them to keep Eliza happy at times or to bribe or reward kids for different things. You know, just good to have a treat in the car & boy do they like them-for whatever reason. Well, upon getting the thing I asked her to get (can't rem'ber now), Lexie saw the baggie & said to herself, "Yum, I want one" and picked one out to eat. She picked it up the candy & saw that it said "angel" on it. Immediately she thought, "An angel girl wouldn't take this without permission" and put it back & came inside. Then she told me about it. What a sweet girl! I sure know that I wouldn't have been like that at her age. I would have eaten it. I love that she is honest & thinks long and hard about things before doing them. I love my Lexie so much!
