When Rachel came upstairs a short time later for her bath, she immediately noticed my toe nails. "Mommy! Your toes are red!" she exclaimed. "I love it!"
In the course of our conversation I told her that sometime we could paint her toe nails too. She was so excited. I told her we could paint them pink. "No," she answered, "I want red, just like you, Mommy!"
So yesterday she talked all day about my painting her toe nails. Her nails needed clipping anyway, which she normally hates and she wiggles and wiggles when I try to get it done. So I told her if she was still while I cut her nails, I'd paint them when I was done. She was thrilled, and sat SO still! She got to choose her color, and sure enough, she chose Mommy's color.
*Disclaimer: If you hate looking at feet as much as I do, I sincerely apologize for the following pictures! I really hate feet--even my own!
Later when it was bathtime and I was taking her clothes off she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, Mommy! I can't get in! My red toes will go away!" I assured her that they would stay red. She laughed all through her bath, looking at her toes. Then when it was time to get into bed later she said, laughing, "No, Mommy, I can't get in bed! My toes are red! I can't sleep with red toes! That's silly!"
This morning when she woke up she was so excited to see that her red toes were still there, and still very much red.

Grandma would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to see and hear all of this!
Oh what a fun "every day" thing that she thoroughly enjoyed! So fun. It's so neat that she got so much enjoyment out of it...maybe I'll have to hold off on painting Marin's so she can have this much fun with it when she get Rachel's age! Love the picture of both of your feet...so sweet! By the way, Kaden's been BEGGING to get his painted again! I don't think I'll show him these pictures or I may have to paint them immediately!
too cute! Both of you have beautiful feet.
