Ashley was able to earn "Bling Strings" which are little pieces of tinsel added to your hair. It's all the rage with 9 yr-olds apparently. Ashley was really wanting feathers added to her hair, but I personally don't like them so I convinced her to get the hair tinsel instead.
Our conversation about the feathers:
Ashley: Mom, have you seen those feathers they put in your hair???
Me: No, let's google them and see what they look like...what?? Those things are lame!
Ashley: Mom, can I get them?
Me: No way, you are not getting those.
Ashley: MOOOMMMM, I thought you were cool!
So instead of feathers, she got to earn bling strings instead. Jeff came up with the following for earning each string during softball: 1 hit = 1 string. 1 RBI = 1 String, 1 Score = 1 string. That week, she got 3 hits, 2 RBIs, and 1 score so she was able to get all 6 strings without having to use her own money!
Here she is getting them put in (if you look closely at the hair stylist's hair, you can see a couple feathers).
Ashley was so excited and couldn't stop grinning.
Here she is with 2 of the 6 done. She got 2 gold, 2 purple, and 2 more gold.
She also brought her friend Amanda to come with her.
I do have to admit, the gold is super cute on her...a little pizazz for a very sweet girl :)

PS- lainey's PT therapist had feathers in her hair so I switched to another one. They made her look inexperienced. Good choice with the tinsel. I guess I'm not cool either :)
