At the Hairdressers

Today - after meaning to get it done since before Christmas - the Little Misses had a long overdue haircut.
Their last visit to the hairdressers was August 31st last year!
In preparation I thought I'd better give them a bath and try and get the tangles out of their birds nest hair!
It only took an hour, half a bottle of detangler, a monumental tantrum from Miss E and quite a lot of shouting and crying. From everyone!
We popped to my mum and dad's first for a nutritious lunch of Nutella on toast for the Little Misses and then headed up to Mrs C's for the chop.
Miss E enjoyed it and chattered away. Miss L wasn't so sure and didn't smile or say a word until she got down from the chair.
They look SO much better. Only a couple of inches off for each of them but it looks so much neater and tidier. I really must try and keep it that way!
We made some scrummy blueberry muffins at my mum's. I was assured they were scrummy I managed to resist everything except a few licks of spoons!
And then it was the usual dash to swimming. When will I learn to set off ten minutes before I think I need to? It would be so nice not to have to rush everywhere at top speed in a state of panic.
Miss L's swimming was a bit rubbish today. Her normal teacher was in the pool but giving a new boy a one-to-one session. The woman that took the rest of the class looked horrible. She kept looking impatient and annoyed when Miss L was doing her mad kicking and failing to move anywhere. She snapped at her a few times and actually sighed and rolled her eyes at one point.
When we were getting changed I asked Miss L if she'd enjoyed the lesson. She looked sad and said "When we have a teacher I don't know I get less gooder at swimming"
I told her she did really well. She replied "The teacher told us it wasn't good swimming".
I was seething. Granted Miss L can be a bit rubbish, messes around and doesn't always listen but what an awful thing to say. To a tiny four year old. Pah.
Hopefully things will be back to normal next week and the joy will come back to Miss L's face as she bounces and splashes about!
