Beauty is Everywhere.

Each Monday is Annika and Mama day. Today for Annika and Mama day, we played "salon". We had a nice fanfare about making an appointment and getting seated and having tea and being very fancy and formal. I began by setting her hair in rollers. As I set her hair in rollers, she proceeded to tell me a story about how she is an orphan and has no parents and she lives a thousand miles away and doesn't have a car and it took her three hours to walk to the salon. She was hoping that maybe I would be her mommy.
Let me get this straight: Today, for Annika and MAMA day, you want to play salon and tell me to be the SALON LADY so that you can pretend you HAVE NO MOMMY and ask THE SALON LADY to be your new MOMMY.
alrighty then.

but we had a great time doing fingernails, hair, makeup, and applying random liquids with bits of cotton. She did my makeup and hair afterward. I smell like a watermelon, after having been the recipient of half a bottle of tangle-free spray. :) she likes to spray stuff.
She's the best girl ever.

    seriously! It was such a blast! I had all my makeup available to her but she was most interested in the big puffy brush and the cotton swabs and balls. She put lotion all over my face using a cotton swab. :) it took a while, but it was precious. I just kept peeking at her and trying to memorize the moment.

    I have to say, that of all my babysitters you had the best hair Becky! We always loved to brush it and put it "up!" Your daughters hair looks just the same! Good memories! and it looks like a great mom&me day!

    That's awesome that you remember that, Beth!! What a coincidence!!! I was thinking about you while I was doing Annika's eye shadow yesterday!!! I was remembering how I would put eye shadow on you and Jen. I'm sure you looked just RAVISHING!! ;) What fun we always had!!
