For the last week of August, I went back to Boston early to babysit. When you're with a 5-year-old that doesn't get a lot of personal attention because there's a baby, it's important to make sure there is some of that personal attention. Therefore, every once in a while, I let Caitlin pick ANYTHING she wants to do and I don't say no. This day, I agreed to have a "beauty day: and let Caitlin do my hair and nails and I did hers. Everyone, including her parents and neighbors, thought I was "asking for it" letting Caitlin and her friend beautify me. But here's my theory....Being the youngest, I was often the victim of blackmail when Shannon would say, I'll do your nails first THEN you can do mine. This went the same way with things such as, "I'll do your hair" "I'll do your nails" "I'll do you make-up" but the key word was 'FIRST'. Once she was done, she was OUT of there and I would never be able to do it for her! This is funny and clever and I give her credit for making me fall for it every time but now that I am in the power position, I feel guilty. ( For some unknown reason) So i let Caitlin and her friend do layers upon layers of nail polish.
She also did a nice hairdo that I was unable to capture on film. But the toes give a nice lasting impression I'm sure.
