Last weekend was Payton's first experience with the great girly tradition of NAIL POLISH!! I guess that I usually just slap an extra layer on my toes quickly when I'm getting out of the shower and she's not around, because it really was the first time she'd found me doing it and taken an interest. So, I put a little on her toes and went back to my own. Then after a lot of "more, more" I did her fingers as well, and of course went back to my own. "More, more" I heard again. We'd run out of nail beds on her body, but she wanted more. I had to explain that we'd done all of her nails already, and of course she gave me that look, the one that says "I know you're holding out on my you cruel, cruel mother of mine." So to distract her I sent her to show her daddy how pretty she was. He was less than impressed. Daddy apparently doesn't want his little girl to grow up so quickly, and told me that he didn't want me to do that again. Bah humbug, she's a little girl and when she wants her nail painted she will have them! His concern is that since she still sucks her thumb that she'll be poisoned by the paint. To compromise, I won't be painting her thumb until she stops sucking it, so give her a break next time you see her with 9 fingers painted!
