It worked out tonight, that Navy and I were all alone.
I know she has been needing some attention from me, so I welcomed the opportunity to do something fun with her.
We decided to do a beauty school with the new doll head she got for Christmas.
We styled the hair, brushed it all out, put different clips in it, and then we set it for it to get curled over night.
And then I set Navy’s in curlers to match her doll.
After curling their hair, she decided that she wanted to make some bows for her doll’s hair.
So we spent an hour in the wrap room making some.
And she stuck them all in the “bow bag” we made together.

After all of our fun, I laid in bed with her and read her a Pippi Longstocking book she got for Christmas.
Then we cuddled and she fell asleep in about a minute flat.
It was one of our best nights in a long time.

I was interested to see if the curlers were going to bug her overnight, but she woke up with no complaints.
Then she took them out, and voila!
She must have looked at her hair in the mirror — twenty times!
It was so cute to see her so proud of our work.
But then we had to go somewhere, and I had to make a decent style out of the crazy curls.
Good thing I am a pro at knots!

I was so glad to have had our girl’s night. Like I said, I knew she needed it. But what I didn’t know was…I needed it as much as she did. It was fun and relaxing, and a blast getting to do something that Navy was so excited about. But of everything that happened during the night, when she leaned over to hug and kiss me, and then say, “Mom, this is the best night ever!” about four different times, I felt like I was doing what I am on Earth to do — creating happy and good children.
