A Morning at the Salon

This morning I had a hair appointment at 9am with Lisa for the first time. (I have found myself a new hair stylist...yeah!!) I found her at my best friends' relative's salon one day when I was trying to get Brady's haircut. Brady has been to so many hair salons and nobody could get his haircut right until Lisa. She does such a great job on his hair. So, last weekend when I took the kids in to her to get their haircut, I decided to make an appointment for me too.

There is a little play area in the back (in Lisa's area) that they always like to play in when they go to get their haircut, so it was perfect. I could bring the kids with me and not have to take a vacation day from work to get my haircut! :) Jason has been working such crazy long hours and on the weekend, so I was so excited that 1) I found a new great stylist and 2) that I could bring the kids with me and they could play in the playroom...no more waiting until forever to get my haircut and having to take a vacation day to do it!!

I should have known that my curious Brady would be bored with the playroom after a short while. The salon was not very busy when we got there, so he was talking with Ashley, the other stylist, asking lots of questions about the hair dryers that people sit under, the "pumpers" on the chairs, and the sink that washes the hair.

In the two hours that I was there, he managed to learn how to run all of the stylists' "equipment"...turning the hair dryers on and off...(little did we know that he would actually be sitting under one a little later ;)), pumping the chairs up and down, and running the sink.

Lisa's area is in the back, so I wasn't able to see his every move, which can be quite nerve racking with him...because he is soooooooo curious about stuff and can get "into" things.

My dad used to call me Curious Kelli, so I guess Brady's curiosity about things must come from me. He has inherited the name...I call him Curious Brady.

Anyway, at one point when I was getting my hair done, I heard Brady tell one lady that was getting her hair done, "I pumped you up." I just started busting up laughing...what was that lady thinking of being pumped by a 3 year old??? Then, he was turning on the hair dryers and sitting under them, etc.... He was just having a good old time; Anabelle was just being a little Angel playing in the playroom....THEN...Brady had a little accident!

All of a sudden, I heard a noise and then heard Brady just burst into tears. I jumped up out of the chair with my foils in to see what had happened. He was playing with the sink and turned it on with forgetting to pull the little showerhead thing out and point it down into the sink. Water shot out EVERYWHERE!!! It was all over the floor, ceiling, and all over Brady. He was so scared at what had happened. We put him under the hair dryer to dry out a little and then ended up putting his sweatshirt into the dryer at the salon. I was just sooooo glad that a customer wasn't standing in the path and didn't get soaked....thank goodness!! How embarassing would that have been?!?!

It was an eventful morning that we will not forget soon. I'm just happy that the next time we go there, he won't be so curious about how everything works since he already had the "trial run" on everything today. ;)

The girls at the salon were great, and it helped that I know them all personally too! :) Thanks girls for being such good sports with my kiddos this morning and helping out! :) We got some good laughs!

P.S....almost forgot to mention that when my hair was done, Brady had to go "poopie" and plugged their toilet up! Thanks for plunging Stace! ;)
