At almost 3 years old Cara got her first haircut. I brought her to a salon that specializes in naturally curly hair. I was told my the hairdresser that I was doing a good job keeping her hair healthy, and she also gave me a few tips on how to keep taking care of it as it got longer. She was very impressed that Cara sleeps with a bonnet/sleeping cap everynight. She said she has adult clients who wont do it, but it really is best for curly hair. She said Cara will only need a hair cut about once a year at this point, which is good because it was pretty expensive for a kid haircut.
In January, we got Cara a big girl bed and she has transitioned flawlessly to it. We kept the crib in her room for a little bit but she just said that is where the baby is going to sleep. A few weeks after she began sleeping in this bed I ran out of pull ups and decided to see if she could stay dry all night, and she did! I can now say I have a fully, fully potty trained child!
Cara has always been a mama's girl. When she was a baby she would cry when Cephas walked into the room. But, slowly over the last few months, she has been better about going with Cephas. Sure, she still says she doesn't want me to leave when I go to work, but she has also recently left with Cephas without any tears at all... this is a major improvement. On this day, Cara and Cephas went on a movie date together. I am so happy when they have times together, just the two of them, and it also gives me a nice break from time to time.
