spa days

As Elliot fixes up our old house for tenants, Ada and I have had some special 'girls days'. These aren't much different than normal days except that Elliot is not there, but to Ada these are exceptional days (or nights).

I asked her last night (as we spent a 'girls night' together) if she liked hanging out with me - 'YES'. Satisfied and a little relieved I followed up by asking her if she liked hanging out with both Mommy and Daddy better - 'Yes, but I like girls days better'. Aww melt my little heart.

Then realizing she is only 4 and I could be a cheesy and dorky as I wanted I asked her if we could do girls days even when we get older.

(No response just a big smile.)

And maybe we could do spa days when you get older.

(BIG smile) A Beauty Spa?!?! (side note: Fancy Nancy has an Ola la Beauty Spa book that Ada LOVES)

Yes, spa days are great.

(confused look comes over Ada's face) But all of my clothes will be to small for me then. What will I wear to the spa.

Well honey - you'll have clothes when you get older too..

(Big smiles once again)

That's settled, when Ada is going through teenage angst and rebelling against her mom - I'm pulling up this post as evidence that she once promised me that we could do not just spa days together, but BEAUTY spa days!
