Fun with Make-Up

Round One... (when I had no idea how hard this would be to get out..)




Round Two (sneaky girl...)



This morning I let Bella Grace have a little too much fun with her make-up... We had a rough morning and I just didn't feel like fighting with something else. So, I gave in and let her do whatever she wanted- knowing that it was made for children. Since it was made for children, I really believed, deep in my heart, that it would come out very easily. Well, I was wrong. We had a birthday party that started at 11:00 and I had just a few minutes to give her a bath and wash her hair. On the way to the party I just thought her hair was still a little damp. I was wrong again. It was just grease. She looked like her head was full of oil and glitter. Oh well, there goes looking like we have everything together... So, tonight James finally spent a while over the sink scrubbing her hair until most of it came out. Within 10 minutes, she had found some more make-up and was again scrubbing it in hair. Lovely. When James caught her, he was not too happy. But, I could not help but laugh which gave Bella Grace much joy in the fact that I was laughing. Her consequence of leaning over the sink for 10 minutes did not make her joyful. I am sure she has not learned her lesson. Or at least, that is what I am learning about a 3 year old. I am not sure if she will ever learn her lesson with the way things are going around our house lately. But, I am trying to remember these moments will be funny in 10 years and to try to make the most of them now.

That's really funny. When I first started reading your post I thought to myself "How cool! Make-up that's made for kids? I should get some of that for Clara Beth!" Then I read the rest of the post and decided definitely not :) You're right, you'll laugh about this in 10 years!
