Lily had a day off of school last week, so I decided to take off from work and have a Mommy/Daughter day. I asked Lily what she wanted to do and she decided she wanted to get her nails done at the salon (but in her New Orleans accent it sounded more like sa-LAWN). I have no idea how she knows about the salon because I do not go often, but I called a local spa and asked about their services.
They actually offer a “Pretty in Pink” package, which consists of a mani and pedi for girls ages 10 and under for a very reasonable price. My Mom decided to join us and treated us all to our mani/pedi sessions! I couldn’t wait for our Girls’ Day Out and Lily was just as excited!
We arrive at the sa-LAWN at about 11:00am for our manicures. Fortunately, Lily picks a pale pink color and sits very still, almost mesmerized by the whole experience. She was finished pretty quickly so she had about 10 minutes of down time before I my manicure was complete. To occupy herself, she starts doing some sort of interpretive twirl dance around the manicure tables to the piped in inspirational music. There was no one else there, so I let her have some freedom and enjoy herself. The spa staff flooded her with compliments and really spoiled her.
Apparently, Act II of her interpretive dance included making farting noises with her armpit. OH.MY.GOODNESS. I about died of embarrassment. Where did she learn to do THAT? And WHY did she decide to display this newfound talent in a sa-LAWN!!!!
I guess 4 years old is too young for the first spa experience. Maybe we will try again next year.
But, my toes do look fabulous!

That’s so funny… My 3 year old daughter and I just did that today! She’s never been before (heck, I go maybe twice a year), and she loved it! I’d love to make it a habit.
What’s wrong with Sa-Lawn? lol That’s how I say it too! Sounds like a wonderful day! My 4 year old does the arm pit music too! lol Ahh…kids!
That sounds like so much fun. My daughter learned that also. She has nothing but brothers so she has to go with the flow.
LOL… you did say it was an interpretive dance….and well, everybody poops. Great post, thanks for sharing at least its just not me with and armpit artist.
That sounds like fun to me!
Aww, I can’t wait to take my girls to a spa. For them of course. Your daughter is so cute and girly, I can’t imagine her making farting noises. Too bad you didnt’ get a video of of that, that would be excellent future blackmail.
I love love love girl time with the lil lady! She is too darn cute!
It sounds Lily had a wonderful day! I bet the staff even got a kick out of the fart noises.
Ahhh the joy of fart noises! lol
I think it is a win/win – you got to be pampered & she got to entertain a new audience!
Fart Schmart lol. Girls can be just as much fun as boys I see.
This would be a perfect post to add to my Treat Yourself Thursday spot today at http://www.familytreesmaycontainnuts.com so drop by if you have the time.
Apparently you have found one of your family’s “nuts”.
How great that you took your daughter to get her nails done! I’m sure she’ll remember that forever, and think what a cool mom she had. Even with the fart noises! LOL
