Pretty Princess

We were planning a trip to Pocatello again this weekend for a Stampin Up party, but the roads were so slick that we decided to just stay home. In Rexburg the Paul Mitchell Hair Academy had Princess Days where all little girls age 3-11 were welcome to come and get made up like princesses, so we opted for that instead.

It cost $8.00 for an updo, makeup and nails. Of course the candy necklace was .50. And if she wanted a tiara that was $5 and a septar was $3. (we decided to go without the last two. She acted so grown up. Everyone kept saying how pretty she was. There were a million people in the place and I felt a little overwhelmed.
She sat so still for her hair. And when she was asked if she would like glitter, she said "yes please!" Next was makeup. She loved this, I struggled more. I kept seeing little girls with way too much makeup on and I didn't want to see Ashlyn like that. She is only 3. But her makeup artist seemed to read my mind and didn't go dark, except for the hot red lipstick that wore off before daddy saw. And when she was asked if she would like glitter, she said "yes please!" again.
After that, we were on to nails. Ashlyn couldn't decide between the pinks so they did every other finger in a different shade of pink. And when she was asked if she would like glitter, she said "yes please!" again. I guess a girl could never have enough glitter.
When she was finished, they had her pose next to some young women dressed up as the Disney princesses. That picture will be posted later because they have to mail it to me. It was fun for her to play dress up, but it reminded me that I don't want her to grow up, at least not yet.
