It's Great to be a Girl

When I found out that I was pregnant with a baby girl, I daydreamed of all of the fun mother/daughter activities she and I would one day do together.  I was thrilled on Thursday to be able to fulfill one of those daydreams.  I had been thinking that Mia and I needed some one on one time.  She's done well adjusting to having Quinn join our family.  She's helpful and loving to him.  However, time and time again I have to ask her to wait if she wants something until I'm finished feeding him, changing him, etc.  Sometimes I just can't accommodate her every whim like I used to.  That's something she has to accept because we have two kids now.  I don't want her to feel like she isn't still so special to me, though.  I decided to take her on a little outing Thursday afternoon while Daddy stayed home with Quinn.  Mia and I went to lunch at Hunky's because she said that she wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  I had the amazing honey mustard grilled chicken sandwich as usual, and she and I shared a chocolate milkshake.  Yum!  Then, we walked down the street and both got pedicures.  It was Mia's first time in a nail salon.  I got the spa pedicure which was divine.  She just got her nails clipped and painted, but she had a ball!  Her favorite colors are pink and purple, so I thought she'd pick a polish in one of those shades.  She surprised me by choosing a dark blue color.  The lady who gave her the pedicure added a silver glitter polish to it.  That girl loves to be pampered and look pretty.  We'll definitely have to go get our nails done once in awhile.  This momma likes to be pampered too!  After that, we walked to a children's boutique where Mia got to pick out a teddy bear.  We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon together.
