Olivia was in rare form this afternoon when she came home from school. She was excited to show us all the neat things she made in school, including this very cool dragon she made in art class for the Chinese New Year.
After finishing her homework, she asked if she could play with her "Liv" doll, one of those heads that you can do their hair and make-up. It kept her busy for quite awhile, carefully applying "eye flash" and other make-up to make "Liv" beautiful. When she was done, she shyly asked me if she could give herself a makeover. It was bath night, so why not. I explained to her again the different types of make-up and how each one was used. She, of course, already it all. And then the fun begin. She checked herself out in the mirror and proclaimed "I. AM. FASHION!", quickly followed by "oh, mama, don't I look beautiful?" Absolutely!
By this time Joe woke up and naturally, his big sister wanted to go up and play in his room. We had lots of fun building towers, reading books, playing with his train set and just being silly. I absolutely love how well they get along!
(Liv did ask if she could give Joe a makeover but we declined the offer on his behalf. He'd probably let her though. Maybe next time she can give him some fashion...
