Happy Feet

For Olivia's birthday present, my mom took Olivia to the nail salon we frequent for a princess pedicure. I was skeptical of taking an almost three year old to have her nails done, but this was my mom's scheme. Olivia wasn't too sure what to think at first either. She and I shared a spa chair and she ended up LOVING it! She put her feet in with mine and stayed put the entire time. She picked the color "poopul" (translation-purple) with sparkles to go with her new shoes Grammy got her. I thought she'd have a hard time with her being stubborn and all. Boy, was I wrong! She sat very still for the manicurist while she painted her twinkle toes "poopul". Once her toes were done, she sat with Grammy to have "sunshine" (UV light) on her nails to help them dry faster. Other clients there were oohhing and awwing over her. One lady started to talk to her and Olivia turned to her and said "Shhhh! Be quiet!". At first I was mortified and I asked Liv to apologize. She looked at me and said "Baby seeping (doesn't quite have /l/ blends yet), you funny Mama!" So those in earshot were giggling. She continued to tell everyone to be quiet because now it was cute (in her mind at least). I, of course, took my camera. I didn't quite have the camera set right, but the shots are still cute. I still have to be fast when taking her pictures as she is not the most willing subject, but today her toes were more than willing to say "cheese!".

It is when I see those moments I wish I had a daughter. I told Eric that I needed one of our sons to do that stuff with...I think Trevie will be my "girly" man!

I'm with Kiahna on the whole wishing I had a daughter to do stuff like that with. I can usually snap out of it pretty quick though when I envision a teenager on her period! Ha Ha! I've resolved to hopefully having granddaughters. Your little girl is sure cute though! I bet she is alot of fun!

I took Kessa one time when I was pregnant with James - she loved every minute of it. But she didn't have those cute new shoes.
