Did you hear that?
The sound of footsteps exiting the room. The sounds of the last few people who had previously hung on to the hope that this hadn't turned into another Mum blogging about her toddler...
Yes, it's Miss Ky again, gracing the pages of another PSF. What can I say, she just happens to be with me during all of my waking hours.
Most of that time I don't mind have a mini-girlfriend hanging around, but there are moments I wonder if my time could be spent more productively.
Between the eight times we celebrate the toilet and hand washing events, we lay out feasts of graham crackers and baby bell cheeses and dance to the Ting Tings.
Sometimes we do girly things
like fingernails.
I burned my soapbox against those ridiculous mothers painting 3 year-old's nails when Miss Ky began chewing her tiny little fingernails.
I now use polish as an incentive, "We don't want to bite our nails and ruin the pretty, do we?"
So today, after clipping off the remainder of a painfully low bitten nail, I suggested we polish. She's amazingly patient waiting for it to dry and always very proud of her chubby little hands.
Silly me thought I could do the dishes while leaving her with Bambii for a few minutes...
Sillier me thought she was satisfied with my paint job...
apparently not.


That is NOT my polishing job (just to be clear) and yes, my daughter does dress herself, why do you ask?



Your little girl is gorgeous! Love the two hands!
ReplyDeleteI also put polish on my granddaughters' nails! Vowed I never would! What can you do? They love it!
Nuts in May
That first picture - what a living doll she is! How could she be so bent on destruction?
ReplyDeleteShe is a little beauty! I never mind a mom posting about one of the loves of her life!
ReplyDeletewhy wouldn't you blog about her - she's gorgeous! love the purple background too!
ReplyDeleteThat first picture...holy CRAP it's GORGEOUS! I love love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteEvie and Miss Ky need to get together...wouldn't THAT be a force to be reckoned with!!??
She's absolutely precious and I love the polish.. I baby girl just turned 25.. I miss those days but she still lets me polish her nails from time to time.. =)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all -- that first shot is stunning!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, I love the look of your blog (Halloween is my favorite!!)
Third, one of these days, when you come home, we'll get our kids together and watch the show.
Fourth: Tell me about ghosts in England.
Those are the moments that make this life worth being here.
ReplyDeleteshe's quite gorgeous - and my middle daughter was biting her nails- but I took her to a nail salon for a real manicure and that was incentive enough for her to stop!!
ReplyDeleteI too was going to mention how absolutely, utterly, devastatingly beautiful your little devil child is.(please forgive that, she's too cute to be anything but an angel) But at this point it would just sound redundant, no?
ReplyDeleteAnywho, I love the nail job. Looks stangely familiar to me. Oh yes, now I remember. My own fingernails resemble that whenever I let my Haley have a go at it.
i just want her curls!
ReplyDeleteI tried offering my 9 year boy a bit of nail color as an incentive to stop biting his nails. It didn't work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet face - I guess that is so you don't kill her when she is acting up, right? Anyway - lovely child. AND lovely polish job she did there!
ReplyDeleteshe is a beauty. I thought blogs were like wallets where we keep snapshots of our family and show them to anyone who looks remotely interested. I like hearing about peoples children. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you've turned to the toddler side! After all, you write about what happens in your life. And let's face it, most of that life is your kids.
ReplyDeleteI think you're on to something in bribing her not to chew her nails. Very creative way of taking care of the problem.
I you'd like to read about my toddler (who is now 7) we're at Cake Crumbs.
Love the Halloween look! And my little girl is girly too...I love it!
ReplyDeleteAlmost all little girls HAVE to paint their nails..... she didn't do too bad. Gotta love the creative outfits they come up with! :)
ReplyDeleteShe looks pretty excited and too stinkin' cute.. I felt the same way about the polish, but I found that OPI products don't contain the formaldehyde so I gave in. My girl loves having her nails painted!
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I, too, was one of those women - 'Ooh - look how she's painted her daughter's nails - ooh it just looks soooo cheap'...Ahem. Now I'm like 'Do you want your feet and your hands?' Hey, it kills a few minutes...
ReplyDeleteI just love Miss Ky. If you think you've got trouble now, just give it a few more years...
What a spooky blog!
ReplyDeleteWe NEED to sort out a date for Miss Ky and Peaches to paint nails together.
Maybe your house would be a good idea...
Hiya, you left a comment on my christmas swap blog asking if Julie was particpating and I just wanted to let you know that yes, she is!
ReplyDeleteShe can paint her nails as well as I can and I have had years of practice but I think that my problem is that I did not start young enough. She is going to be a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThank you for remembering my birthday. It was yesterday.
Geesh she's a beauty. Too cute. :)
ReplyDeleteShe has an angelic face!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow to get pissed with such a face?!
You must be having a 'hard time'..
*laugh*
Girls just wanna have fun!! She's beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOK. Could your blog GET any better? Adorable background, adorable photos, funny posts ... and I was so happy to read that Disney gave you more time with your photos, too.
ReplyDeleteAs for fingernails, I used to use permanent marker on ONE nail ... just to measure how much finger sucking was going on. I'd color their nail and my nail .. at the end of the day whoever had more "ink" on their nail got candy. (Sometimes I helped them win by washing dishes. Takes the ink right off! lol)
Miss Ky really is a looker. What a beautiful baby/little girl. Great photos too.
My good Lord, that girl is beautiful. Seriously beautiful. She can get away with anything, can't she? ;)
ReplyDeleteHey stranger! I feel like I have been gone forever-----oh wait...I have.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all have been doing well and dandy without me.
I don't understand--what's wrong with that paint job? That's what my girls' looked like every time I painted them. That may explain why they didn't want me to do it very often....
hmmmm..
Miss Ky seems so yummy and delightful--great pics--my word verification is catoot---blees tou!
a child that pretty should be illegal. i would be helpless against those eyes and those lashes...
ReplyDeleteAw...she's just so adorable. You must have missed a couple of spots when you were doing the painting. It's good she could finish up the job herself. HA! Hope you are having a good week. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little imp! She'll get better, mum. Make sure she gets her Omega-3 (flax seed oil or salmon are great) and plenty of protein in the morning. Mis Ky is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSoo cute! Sounds like she is quite a handful. Thanks for reminding me how lucky I am to have my youngest in kindergarten this year... not to brag or anything... ;)
