Last Thursday on our way home from school Amelia asked me to paint her toes. I asked her what color she wanted and she said brown…I said try again (brown should never be on toe nails in my opinion). She then picked purple. I agreed to do it and said we’d buy some nail polish soon.
I have to admit that I thought Amelia was far too young to ask for her toes to be painted, but I’m hesitantly accepting the fact that she’s growing up. We bought the nail polish yesterday, a nice light shade of purple…perfect for a little princess. Amelia asked this morning if we could paint her toes and I said yes, let’s do it. She sat in a kitchen chair and I sat on our cold, hard tile floor (at 30 weeks pregnant mind you). She sat mostly still…I only had to repaint her big toes 3 times each. I blew her nails dry and before she got down out of the chair she said “I don’t like this purple, I want another purple.” When I explained that it’s the only purple we have she then said “I don’t want this purple on, take it off” so Amelia’s first pedicure officially lasted 5 minutes.
It was good while it lasted…
