During Liam's last week of school, I realized my one-on-one time with Lyla would be far less during the summer so we went on one last special mommy/daughter date to get her first pedicure! I thought for sure she would pick her favorite color (pink) but the moment she walked over to the many rows of nail polish choices, she picked the first one she saw ... a sparkly red one!
Despite being offered her own chair, most of the time she sat with me on my lap. I'll admit, it wasn't my most comfortable and relaxing pedicure I've ever gotten in my life with a big baby belly and a toddler in my lap but I loved snuggling her as she asked question after question while watching me get my toes done. She took a bit to warm up and was nervous by some of the tools they used on my feet that it would hurt but then I showed her the chair had massage buttons and it was game over. She moved on to her own chair and had a grand old time changing all the settings and squealing away as it massaged her back. haha
We had the sweetest nail technician who was incredible with kids! Lyla wanted to be closer to me than her chair would allow while she got her nails painted so the lady gave up her swivel stool for Lyla to sit on and let her hold my hand while the lady sat on the floor with Lyla's foot propped up on her knee. It was so kind. Of course there was a moment of rubbing her first two toes together too where they got smudged and needed to be redone and a few rough spots on the big toes by the time we made it home but ... the cutest sparkly red toes!
I feel so blessed to have a daughter to do these special things with and love her so much!!
