Day 66 / 365: Manicure by Mommy

When we went to get our hair done the other day, you picked out a bottle of nail polish for yourself. Purple, but of course. You hadn't asked to have your nail's polished with it until tonight. Personally, I blame Big Ma. She's always had her nails beautifully done, painted in beautiful shades of bright red or flowery mauves. As a baby, I remember you'd hold her fingers and just stare.

Well, your mom doesn't have the knack for painting nails like Big Ma does, but the job got done. One coat of purple nail polish and one coat of clear top coat to make it extra shiny. You were so excited at the idea of showing off your new manicure to your friend at school the next day! It didn't matter that it was a little smudged or that mommy didn't do it just right. You felt like the prettiest girl in the world; and you should!
