Make-up Artist?

First of all, let me begin by apologising for my lack of posts lately. I really have no excuse. I am just going to leave it at that and repent by writing more often. I really am a big fan of this whole blog epidemic. It really is a great way to express feelings, share experiences, and view in on the lives of loved ones. Thanks to all of you who share your lives with us.

I have to share with you so of Taylor's latest pieces of Art. I really do believe in letting her express herself, even if it means having more things to clean up. Of course I have to draw the line somewhere, and sometimes she crosses the line when I am not paying attention.

Taylor got some make-up for Christmas from her cousin Ty. She absolutely loved the gift, and has already almost used all of it! It was just a few days after Christmas when I turned around to check on why Taylor was being so quiet in the car that I found this . . .




I try to let her know that she is beautiful the way she is, but she saw it fit to apply base all over her body to hide all her blemishes. I decided to let her finish her masterpiece, and cover her car seat too.

Then a few days later I found her practicing on Lexi. I ended up throwing the make-up away, but she somehow found it in the trash can, and repeated the make-up session just a few days later. Lexi actually seemed to like it. It was really cute watching her grin from ear to ear as slowly her face was almost completely covered in thick glittery goo. Little did I know that she would be sporting the glitter for the next few days.




Although there are some days that by the time evening comes, I feel like I have run a marathon, and about to have an emotional break-down, I really do love being a mom. All my work seems like nothing compared to the joy that I feel when my sweet little Taylor hugs me and says "your a good mommy" (as she has done a couple of times in the last few days).
