Since Avery was about two years old, I have been telling her that she couldn't get her fingernails painted until she stopped sucking her thumb. (However, occasionally a grandma or two didn't follow my rules! ; )
We have noticed that in the past few since Grayson has gone sans pacifier, we have not caught Avery sucking her thumb at all. It's like something clicked and she realized that if her little brother was a boy big now, she could be a big girl too! We were all very excited about this....so I had to keep my promise!
A few Friday nights ago, I let it happen! Avery chose to alternate red and yellow so that it would match her Snow White dress that she would be wearing for her upcoming princess tea party (see future post). I talked her out of polka dots...I don't know who she thinks her momma is! I don't even paint my own nails!)
Here she is proudly displaying her polished nails...
The entire time I was painting them she kept saying over and over "I can't believe this is really happening!" "I can't believe this is really happening!" Then the next morning, the first thing she said was "I can't believe it REALLY happened!" Every hand and finger movement for the next two days was very exaggerated...as if she wanted everyone to notice her nails!
