The other day while Brinley was taking a nap I could tell that Teya needed some special one on one attention. So I offered to play make-up with her since she LOVES my make-up and hasn't been able to touch it since the eye shadow incident (
See Keep on Paddling Post). We started with powder, blush and eyeshadow and I was happy to see my non-girly girl looking somewhat girly. Once I brought out the eyeliner though she started getting creative. First she wanted me to draw a heart on her foreheard. Next she wanted a flower, then a star and a square. She then asked for a circle on her nose and thought she looked like a kitty so we went ahead and added whiskers. Naturally she wanted Mommy to do it too. I thought I could get away with just a flower on my cheek but she wanted me to copy her face exactly. In the end our girly make-up session left us looking more like fluffy animals then beauty queens. But that fits Teya to a T so I guess I wouldn't want it any other way. : )
I also let pretty kitty paint her own nails. I usually don't let her touch the nail polish so she was so happy. (I was closely supervising however ; )
When the makeover was complete she crawled around and meowed like a sassy little cat. I love this girl with all my heart and I'm so thankful for the zest she brings into my life. : )

you are so brave to let her do her nails and play with make up!
Too cute! You are such a great mom!
awesome.
Wonderful face painting/decorating/make-uping by the way!
This is the cutest thing EVER! YOu are such a great mom! Question: I remember you saying something about a book that has ideas to do with your kid inside? Do you remember the title? I'm in need of some fresh ideas... Thanks Becca.
I've never done that with Makenzie, I'm sure she would love it (face painting at home!). It's nice to get one on one time with them these days huh?? Lately I've gotten some alone time with Jarom and I've realized how little he gets it. He would probably love makeup time. :)
Kids love to make bubbles in the kitchen. Keeps them busy for hours. Teya is so cute.
Love Grandma Pratt
I'm now waiting for the next "Mommy don't look at me!" Give it a few weeks! hahaha
Looks like a FUN time with Teya! I need to make more time for one on one time with my girls. Thanks for the great idea!
You are a better mom than I. Any time I have free time from the boys I feel like I have no energy to think of creative things to do with Callie! She looked like she had a blast!
you're such a wonderful mommy. your girls are lucky to have you. :)
You both look so awesome! I better not let my girls see this - they would both want to go live with you.
What a riot! She is absolutely adorable! I can't wait to do that with Alli! It won't be too long now... I'm just waiting til I can trust her a little better! You're a fun mom!
