Last Friday, I woke up to Arabella sitting on our bed and telling me "Tada" (which is one of her new favorite words!)! When my eyes focused she had my brand new $25 Trish McEvoy lipstick in one hand, and the most perfect circles of pink lipstick on each cheek. Her smile was so big and she was so happy that she was able to do her makeup all by herself. Let me state her that she is not allowed to wear makeup and if Jay has anything to say about it, she will be 18 before she wears any! However, when I am putting on my makeup and she watches and then asks for some, I pretend to put on some blush or eyeshadow and she loves it. My little girly girl. Anyway, as I tired to clean it off her, which she was very adamant that I not do, she proceeded to show me teddy who has also been covered in my lipstick! Lucky teddy! I was able to get her to help me clean him up, thank goodness for baby wipes! She on the other hand was not having it. She would even go and look in the mirror and she kept saying "Tada"! It was the cutest thing and I just couldn't get mad about her destroying my lipstick in one sitting. I did leave it within her reach so it was partially my fault. I guess motherhood has changed me because if this had been 3 years ago, I would have been through the roof over my lipstick.
Needless to say, Arabella won Round 1!
Round 2 - Arabella vs. The Eyeshadow
Yesterday was a rough day here. Arabella has worn me out before we even left for her art class at 10 am. It was just going to be one of those days. So when I was taking a time out, I knew she was upstairs playing. I was able to hear some noise so I figured she was OK. Little did I know, she was into my makeup that is on my counter in the bathroom. Jay had come home and it was getting near to Arabella needing lunch so I asked if he would go and check on her. I heard him talking with her, then water running but no crying so I figured it wasn't anything big. She then came down and gave me a hug and kisses and said she was sorry. I just figured she was saying sorry for giving me a run for my money. Later, Jay told me she was playing in my makeup and when I went into my bathroom later, this is what was on the counter for me:
Good thing Jay cleaned up what ever was strewn across the bathroom floor, or where ever it was, and that it was an inexpensive eyeshadow. I am not sure I could have parted with more of my expensive makeup.
Arabella is once again the winner!
I am sure there will be plenty more matches over the years...and I now need to find a new place to keep my makeup our of her reach!
