Pink like Mommy's.

Within 10 seconds of being out of bed this morning, I was painting 10 tiny fingers and 10 tiny toes "pink like Mommy's".

After weeks of admiring Mommy's "pink toes" but being too afraid to have hers painted, she woke up ready to make that Big Girl step today. So I sat on my bathroom floor (a pretty big feat with this belly), eyes barely open yet, and I painted the tiniest nails I've ever painted a very pale shade of pink. She sat so still, watching me very intently. We used the low setting on my hair dryer to speed up the drying process since patience isn't exactly our forte these days. The results? Still slightly smudged, but "pink like Mommy's" indeed!

And what a proud Big Girl I have on my hands this morning.

Somebody's growin' up.
