Do you remember the first time you painted your own fingernails?

I don’t remember when I did, but I’ll sure remember Ro and Ree’s first time. They wiggled and giggled and were just tickled pink that they got to do it all by themselves.
I have an embarrassingly massive plastic tub full of polish to choose from. Shoot, some of those tiny bottles are probably from college and really need to be tossed out, but the girls adored spreading them all out and inspecting each one. The choosing process took at least 15 minutes, and involved Very Serious Discussion. So cute. Ro chose Go Go Green for her left hand, Red Comet for her right hand, and Sunset Prisms for her toes. Ree chose Prompt Petals for her left hand, Red Comet for her right hand, and Modern Art for her toes. And they were both prouder than proud. Little honeys.

It was a fun way to while away a lazy summer morning. We’ve been taking it slow and easy this week. Enjoying the summer and each other.

  2. Adorable.

    I do remember the first time Ben & his friend Sevi painted their nails. The big sisters were playing and the 2.5 year old little siblings found a bottle of nail polish. ;o)

  6. The girls love it when I do their nails! I let Jazzie do her own for the first time the other day. The left side looked pretty good, the right not so much :-)

    Wow! They did a great job! I paint mine very rarely - and I don't do half as good a job as they did! My dd (only 1 week younger than your girls) has only had her nails painted twice. We're pretty sad here :)

  11. Now let them paint yours!

    Take it from a mom of older kids. You will look back on those lazy days of summer with fond, fond memories.
