Yesterday, Maddie decided that she wanted to be a "big girl" and have her toe nails painted. I was painting mine, for the first time in FOREVER, and she saw me. The only thing we've ever done before was clear polish on her fingernails and she really wanted her toes painted. I finally decided that I'd do it. I explained to her that she would have to sit on the counter and be very, very still. She said, okay. I started painting them and surprisingly she sat real still and patiently watched as I painted them. However, that all changed after I was finished and she wanted to cross her legs and swing her feet back and forth. I had to fix her one big toe at least three times and even now it isn't perfect, but I finally decided I was NOT going to fix it again. She wanted me to then paint her finger nails to match, but I didn't want that bright of a color on her fingers, so we decided on a pale, pale pink that basically looks clear. She had to call everyone she could think of after we were done to tell them. She was so so excited!
Alex is now trying to tell her that because she has her nails painted like a big girl, she HAS to use the potty ALL the time, but it isn't working. That is still going to be a work in progress, but she is slowly trying to go more. We'll keep our fingers crossed and hope she gets it soon.
