After Ione and I dropped Isabella off at MDO this morning, we went to "Cool Cuts 4 Kids" so she could get a haircut. Unfortunately, were got there about a half hour before they opened. I almost stuck her back in the carseat and headed home, but changed my mind when I noticed the Starbuck's next door. She was so excited to walk into the coffee shop on her own (holding Mommy's hand) and choose a "nummy" from the glass case. I ordered her a "kids' hot chocolate" (warm, not hot) and a big, thick wedge of blueberry bread. She was delighted to sit at the table in a big chair and eat her treat. She was not as excited about the drink as I had hoped she would be. Anything that isn't cold, Ione calls "hot." So the warm milk wasn't appealing to her. I finally convinced her that it was chocolate, one of her favorite things, and she gave it a try. She didn't love it, but she humored me through several drinks before handing it back to me telling me to drink it.
When she finished her snack, we made our way next door. Ione picked out an Elmo movie to watch and the yellow taxi to sit in for her hair cut.
