I’m so proud….I think???
January 22, 2008
So I am in my room, doing some stuff on the computer and I start smelling nail polish. The only other person in the house is Emma. Oh crap.
I run into the other room expecting to see nail polish all over the carpet and knowing there will be hell to pay. To my amazement, I see my sweet Emma sitting quietly with her hand neatly resting on her legs. “Mommy, I painted my nails all by myself!” she says. “Wow honey, that is really amazing” I say in a very uncertain voice. I look all around, no nail polish on the carpet, the cap is put back on the bottle correctly and she doesn’t have nail polish all over her. What the??
I’m not sure to encourage this independence, or discourage for the sake of my carpets and furniture.
I think I will just be really proud of the fact that my almost 3-year-old can paint her own nails without making a mess and just chalk it up to my stellar parenting skills.
Something interesting: She only painted her right hand….and she left handed.
