The Art of Being Pretty

This morning my two year old came in and found me. She stated that "My finger is missing." which prompted me to ask her to repeat herself because there was no way that she would have meant what it sounded like she said. Again she repeated, "My finger is missing." I laughed and told her that her finger was right where it was supposed to be to which she replied "Oh, ok." and walked away. I wrote it off as a silly little two year old girl.

About five minutes later, she returned to tell me once again that her finger was missing. I finally asked my husband what he thought she meant by all of this, he gave me a pretty good guess. We had painted her fingernails a few days ago and the polish has begun to chip. Thus her "finger" is missing. I then asked the little one if she wanted me to paint the nail again and she grinned and nodded.

I haven't re-painted her nail yet, but I will. I chalk it all up to her girlie habits. I was never so picky. I was more along the lines of I will dress up and look pretty if it doesn't take me too long. I could never make the polish look perfect on my nails, not to mention that I can't stand to play the Viola with polish on, (it is quite distracting to see red or purple fingers working the strings), anyway I had underestimated the power of being pretty. She is my girlie-girl, who would wear a fluffy dress every day of the week if I would allow it. The more lace and ruffles, the better for her. I think she takes after her aunts instead of her mother.
