As much as I wanted to avoid having a 'girly' girl - Evelyn has QUICKLY become into anything that Mommy does... So make-up, shopping and talking on the phone are 3 of her main interests. It's funny - because I don't see myself that way - but she is my little mirror and the mirror doesn't lie! So, if she asks I will put make-up on her - it is usually just me mimicking what I do to myself without actually applying anything. She knows where every brush is used and will show Daddy how beautiful she looks. So one day she was 'mysteriously quiet' for about 10 minutes - Keith goes into the back bedroom - pauses and says, 'ummmm Mommy you had better look at this'... Evelyn has NEVER been allowed to touch or mimic applying mascara - far too dangerous. But she still sees me do it. So once she had the opportunity she had put on about as much as a person could apply to their eye area. Thankfully she thought it was for her eyebrows and not her eyelashes. Once we discovered she didn't actually get any in her eye - I expressed disappointment that she got into my make-up - you could immediately tell that SHE was disappointed that I wasn't more proud of her accomplishment. So I changed my tune and told her that she did do a really good job -and then immediately put my mascara out of reach. (I usually do but had gotten lazy about it). Look how proud she is here!
