I know, I know another post.....

I am the first to admit that I am the furthest thing from being the perfect mom, but I really do try to be a good mom. Sometimes I feel like people are looking for me to mess up. I have never taken so much pride in anything I have ever done before. I first try to be the best wife I can be because I feel that if I'm being a good wife it makes it that much easier to be a good mom.
That being said, I couldn't find a babysitter this afternoon so I had to take both girls with me to a hair appointment. I knew Sophie would be no trouble at all, I just had to make sure her little tummy was full and she'd fall asleep in the car on the way there. I was really freakin' out about Lia though. I knew it would be an exciting place with lots of people and fun stuff to get into. Anyway, I walk into the salon, set her up on the bench behind Carrie's station with crayons, coloring books, her favorite sea life book, goldfish and a sippy cup. I then said a little prayer and crossed my fingers that she would be ok.
SHE WAS AN ANGEL!!! She sat there the whole time, she would talk to people about the fishies and turtles in her book, she colored pictures for everyone, she made people laugh but never once did she get off that bench and go crazy. When Carrie was finishing up I checked on Lia for the last time and saw her sweet little face carefully studying her book and I teared up. I felt kind of guilty for not having enough faith in her, then it turned into pride. She is an amazing little girl and I just adore her. Carrie told me to not be so surprised... and that I was doing a good job. I could not stop hugging and kissing her when I was done, and Carrie rewarded her with licorice! It was a great day!
