An evening with my family

For a month or so, my baby girl has gotten into the bad habbit of pulling hair, pinching, and hitting. She pulls her own hair, sometimes mommy's hair, and her sister's hair when she doesn't expect it at all. She is a very sweet little baby, and always follows up the hitting, pinching, pulling with a nice kiss.
This evening the family was going to return some things that we had bought that were out of our budget. There is a park, and an ice cream parlor at this fine shopping establishment. We had a great plan for the evening. And then... baby girl grabbed a hold of sweet girls locks and yanked a very hard yank. Sweet girl screamed and then cried. And when her hair was finally released, she looked at her baby sister and replied,"You better not pull on my hair like that again, if you do, I'm going to not have any hair left and I'm going to have to wear a wig. Then I'm going to tell all of the students in Kindergarten about you." To this baby girl responded with a sad little face, a whimper, and then a kiss to her sisters head. Then there was a truce, and all hair was safe, at least for one evening.
We returned our things, well, my dear husband returned his, and I exchanged mine for something better :-) Then we headed to Ben and Jerry's where we were charged $4 a scoop for melted ice cream. My husband asked the guy to help him out on baby girls soooo small cone, and he added a teeny, tiny bit more. Ridiculous! It was funny to watch the other customers come out with the same small cones, discussing the outrageous price, but enjoying every lick, just as we did. Then it was off to play at the playground, toss pennies into the fountain and make wishes that we all hope come true, and home again to our toy infested house!
What a wonderful evening!

Dulles Town Center? Which mall? It sounds like a good one. We had a hair-puller in our family too. My MIL made a suggestion about how to curb the behavior but I thought it sounded awful. After many hand-fulls of hair were yanked out one day, I thought "how much more awful could it be"? Well I gave a yank on her hair the next time A pulled I's hair. What a shocker. You should've seen A's face. What the heck just happened? It really curbed the hair-pulling. Crazy, but it seemed to have worked. I told A that was what it felt like and she doesn't do it anymore.

We where shopping at the Clarendon Market shops in Arlington. Parking there is the worse, but on that evening we found a spot right by the park. Is A starting Kindergarten this year? My sweet girl is and she's very excited.

Yes, A will be starting but our school is only 1/2 day -- bummer. She could definately handle full-day. I think Sweet Girl will be in kindergarten w/my friend's daughter, Maddie, and another playmate of A's named Sarah. We should talk soon!

We know a Maddie that's going to Tuckahoe too, wonder if it's the same one? We'll definitely have to chat soon!

Just talked w/my friend Laura and she will be looking for you guys at the Tuckahoe playdate next week. I'll see if I can find your email on your site to hook you all up prior to the big playdate.
