Make-up

My little toddler is obsessed with make-up. I don't know where she gets it from... I don't use it very much. Frankly, there's no time, and as she ran off with my bag more than a week ago and I haven't tried to look hard for it, I haven't worn it at all for a while.

For some inexplicable reason, she loooooves make up. Everything becomes make-up in her hands: crayons, pens, markers... frankly with some funny results sometimes. I walked into the living room yesterday and found that squirt had been given magenta eyebrows and freckles by his loving older sister.

The other day I was flipping through a book with her that had pictures of animals, body parts, shapes... standard toddler board book.

Me: (showing her a picture of a sheep) What's that?

Jaws: Sheep!

Me: (Showing a picture of a tree) What's this?

Jaws: Tree!

Me: (Showing a picture of a nose) What's that?

Jaws: Nose!

Me: (Showing a picture of lips) What are these?

Jaws: Make up!

Admittedly the lips were shaded pink. But you can tell what's on her mind!

I'm not all that worried. I figure, let her get it out of her system while she can. Today she discovered a stash of old party favors. She took a heart-shaped container of purple lipgloss, found one of Loli's paintbrushes, and decorated her lips, eyes, eyebrows, MY lips, eyes, eyebrows and feet, and her sister's entire face, with the radioactively-grape smelling stuff.

I'm sorry now I didn't think to take pictures.
