Our day went better than expected. I had more issues with Alexa than with Aleyah. So I guess you can say it was a normal day.


I did manage to do the treadmill again today while Alexa entertained Aleyah. Felt good about accomplishing that but wasn't so thrilled about certain cravings this time of the month. I hate that! So it looks like I pretty much did the treadmill for nothing. There is always tomorrow, right?
After my morning walk Aleyah decided to put on Alexa's Hannah Montana wig. She's been doing that the past couple of days. We have mixed feelings about that. We get a kick out of watching her brush the wig and walk around like she is some real Super Star! It is the cutest thing because the hair hangs down to the back of her calves. From behind she looks like Cousin It from the Addams Family. The down side is her interpretation of beauty. Does she envy those with long locks? Will she appreciate her very tight curls? Anyways, my husband, being the sensitive guy he is, kept telling her that he liked her hair and not the wig. She wasn't buying it. Every time she walked past for some attention Steve would continue to tell her he wanted to see her pretty hair. Eventually, she took the wig off and I put it away hoping she will forget it for awhile. I remember Steve doing something similar with Alexa. Steve made sure to always get Alexa dolls with brown hair because he didn't want her to think that blond was better, no offensive to blonds. Steve just feels that society favors blonds. So I'm not surprised that Steve noticed Aleyah's fondness for the long blond wig. Hair will be a challenge with Alelyah. I personally can't wait until she gets more of it so I can style it. Even I am getting tired of the headbands!
