I'm Just Doing my Nails Mom

Aubrey and I went to Wal-mart today. She has been real interested in doing her nails lately, so I wanted to get some of the quick dry polish I have heard about. I found a few that we liked and Aubrey wanted to see one. So, I handed her the red polish to look at and I continued browsing the shelves. I turned back to the cart and what do I see? Aubrey had opened up the bottle of polish and was polishing her nails. After my immediate panic and heart failure, I noticed that Aubrey had managed to not get a single drop of it on her dress. We had gone from a baptism and Aubrey was wearing a beautiful purple velvet dress. Not the outfit you want her to be wearing when she tries to paint her nails for the first time! So, once I discovered that she was clean I realized just how cute it was. She just wanted to paint her nails and was doing a pretty good job at that. She was working on her third nail when I caught her. Of course I had to ruin them because I didn't want any to get on her dress. I didn't have anything with me so I just had to use my hands to wipe off as much as I could. So we both wandered around Wal-mart with red all over our hands. Sometime I'll have to strip Aubrey down and let her polish her own nails!

The only way I manage to get Aubrey's hair done is by watching YouTube videos. The other day I found a clip from Finding Nemo. So we watched that the last couple of days while doing hair. We haven't talked about it between viewings and I think I referred to it as the fish video. She must have caught on to his name from the clip itself because she certainly knows his name. Whenever we go to Wal-mart we have to make a stop at the fish tank. We were looking at all of the different fish. We got to a tank of orange colored fish and Aubrey started saying, "Nemo Nemo Nemo". At first I had no idea what she was saying. But when I finally caught on she was real excited. It's amazing what these little ones pick up and how quickly they pick it up.
