(It was a fluke that Mimi K looks like she's scooting away from Rachel,

she was about to get up when I happened to snap the picture.)

Today was Rachel's Valentine Party at school. She wore her special heart dress that I found at Target and we rolled her hair with sponge rollers last night. This was Rachel's first "sponge rolling" experience. I couldn't wait to try it out on her since my mom rolled my hair a million times when I was growing up. Rachel loved it and couldn't wait to see her curly hair the next morning. Unfortunately, I didn't quite do enough rollers, or they might should be a smaller size and/or I might should put a little bit of hair spray or mousse in her fine, silky hair. All but 2 of the rollers fell out in her bed last night and she didn't have quite the curls that I had envisioned, but she did get a little bit of body and she LOVED it! We had a great time at the party and all the kids looked so cute in their heart shirts and outfits. Ironically, Rachel and another little girl, Samantha had on the exact same dress. Of course, they loved that they were wearing the same dress and were automatically "best friends" for the day. This is ironic because Samantha is NOT one of Rachel's favorite people. Of all the kids in her class, Rachel has complained the most about Samantha. According to Rachel, Samantha has taken her best friend, Kate, away from her numerous times and not allowed them to play together. I think that Samantha has a very dominant personality and so she sometimes clashes with Rachel, who is not a pushover, but also not a dominant type, either. Anyway, it was funny that they were best friends today simply because of their dresses. Bradley stayed with Gege so I could help the other moms and have some mother/daughter time with my sweet little girl.
