I know, I know it's completely petty and superficial. I know we have very big, lofty goals for our girl. But, even with me not being the girliest of girls, I've always thought painted baby toes were adorable. Lately I've heard about some of my friends taking their daughters to get their first manicures, and always felt a small pang knowing that, really, Violet would sooner scale the wall of the nail salon than sit still and have someone hold her fingers for a long period of time. But, I figured it was just not something we could do together, and that was ok- we have a LOT of special bonding moments and activities between us.
But today she noticed my toenail polish.
And while my girl is not into beauty or hygiene or holding still for any reason other than sleep, she likes art. Especially painting and brushes and color. Especially on herself.
See where we're going with this?
Violet wanted her toes to be red like mama's. And I painted as quickly as possible and we blew on them together (kind of like a birthday wish, right?), and she held still and watched me and *almost* grinned.
Heaven!
