I wanted a little one-on-one time with Eleanor today. When Saralyn went down for a nap, I let Elly paint my face with the new supplies I got in. The theme today was BUNNY.
She painted me:
I painted her:
We both had a great time and learned we need finer brushes for things like whiskers and stuff. Artistic execution aside, Eleanor loves the play value of face paint. I’ve never let her paint my face before, and that’s just because I was afraid of losing an eye or something. She was surprisingly gentle. On some level, I think she knew that she had but ONE shot at making a good impression. She took her time. She considered the pictures in her face painting book. She tried not to make a big mess. She was a SUPER good girl. And I really enjoyed our time together.
