Nothing seems to trump cute pictures of family/kids…so finding a post to follow my last one was a challenge. Rather than post a picture of anything at all, I’ll admit to my “painting Tara’s toenails” story…
I really wanted for Tara’s nails to look nice for our pictures. I wanted ALL of them to look nice, but I resigned myself to just getting her toenails done after many failed attempts to trim and paint her fingernails. She does a pretty good job painting those herself, but man they’re long and scraggly…I digress…
So, when Jill, Kayla and Luke were visiting, we got the polish out. In a weak moment, Tara agreed to let me paint her toenails…but only if I crawled under the kitchen table and painted them from under the table, sitting on the floor, while she painted her fingernails…and so…
I did.
(Anything for good pictures…)
Bargaining already—-just wait until she’s 18!!
Speaking of good pictures – I want to see a picture of you under the kitchen table!
I think you have the makings of a salon idea! You could serve lunch and have pedicures at the same time! “Pizza and Polish”!
Polish (dogs) and Polish!
Ha!
I think it would just be handy to have someone sitting at your feet while you eat. “Oops! I dropped a pepperoni. Would you pick that up and give it to me? Thanks. Mmmm… floor food…”
Me too!!!
I do this kind of thing for my children on a regular basis. The best thing is… they’re starting to do things for me now, too! Like, yesterday, Susana got me a glass of orange juice without complaining one word or even giving me a nasty look!
