We are on our way to lunch and I made a hair appointment for them both. Lily's getting her first haircut cause her hair has been getting way too long.
Also Ellie's getting highlights
As we're driving to the restaurant Jack FaceTimes me
I have Ellie answer it cause I don't want an accident of course
"Hey dad"
"Hi El. Can I talk to mom"
"She's driving"
"Oh okay well can you tell her I won't be home in time for dinner. We wrote a whole song and we want to record it."
"Okay. Mom-"
"I heard. Do you want me to save you some dinner"
"No that's fine. I'll eat before but I'll be back at 9 the earliest"
"Okay well have fun I love you"
"I love you too who else is with you"
"Just the girls"
"Daddy I want to talk you"
Ellie hands Lily the phone and she hugs it
"Daddy I just gave you a hug" she giggles
"I know. So what are you doing today"
"I getting my first haircut my hair too long"
"Aww you're going to look so cute"
"I know daddy well I miss you"
"I miss you too. I won't be able to put you too bed tonight I'm sorry"
"Oh. Can you FaceTime mommy and do it please I can't go to bed without you singing to me"
"Will That make you happy"
"Very"
"Then yes. Well I have to go back to work okay"
"Okay bye daddy I love you"
"I love you too princess"

We just left the restaurant and are now going to the hair place
I'm really excited but also nervous. I love Lily's long hair and I don't want it to be too short
"Lily are you excited!"
"Yeah I'm very excited I can't wait"
"What about you Ellie I know you've wanted this for a while"
"Yeah" she says with no amusement at all
I know she is still upset about Ryan and I would too. I mean it took me forever to trust Jack again after he cheated on me
I remember hating him how funny. I was so obsessed with Zach.
I put my hand on her shoulder and rub it
"What are you doing"
"You're sad I can tell. And I don't like seeing you sad. You being sad is like me being sad"
"How"
"You Ellianna Avery are my twin. I love every one of you kids but you, you have a special place in my heart. You remind me a lot of myself at your age. And trust me I know how you are. And I know how sensitive you are."
"I'm not sensitive mom"
"And you get that from your dad" I laugh a little and she looks at me confused
"Your dad hates to admit his sensitivity but trust me he is super sensitive"
"Well I'm not"
"Okay Ellie that's what you say"
"Whatever"
"You know what I do everything to make you happy and all I get back is disrespect. Yesterday me and dad were going to take your phone away cause you're only 13 and you had hickeys and you were sending those pictures to him but I told your dad how I felt bad so I wouldn't do it and now this is what I get in return."
"Sorry" she says rolling her eyes
"Roll your eyes again and I'll take you to school"
"I said I was sorry"
"But you said it with attitude and I don't like that okay"
She goes silent and I take that as a yes
-
We get to the hair place and I put in their names
"Mommy I scared" Lily says putting her head in my chest
"There's nothing to be scared about"
"Will it hurt"
"No I promise you. You won't feel anything at all."
"O-okay can you hold my hand"
"Of course I will"
"Lilia and Ellianna Avery?" The hairdresser says
We all follow her and they bring Lilia to a kid chair and Ellianna to a much older chair
"I'll be with Lily if you need me" I tell Ellianna before walking over to Lily
"Mommy hand!" Lily grabs my hand and I laugh a little
"Don't worry baby it's going to be okay"
"So Lilia how short do you want your hair" the hairdresser nicely asks
"I don't want short I want it long"
"Only two inches please" I tell her
"What mommy no that's too much"
"Lily relax it's like this much" I show her with my fingers and she sighs
"Fine"
