Tomboys and lip gloss
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Q often comments that he thinks Zoe is a bit of a tomboy- but I’m not so sure. After all, she does her fair share of girlie things – like this morning, when she watched me get ready and took a keen interest in my every move. “Eyes?” she asked as I removed the eyeshadow brush from my make-up bag. “Brush?” she asked as I put blush on my cheeks. “Mouth?” she asked as I began applying lip gloss. After I confirmed that I was, indeed, putting lip gloss on my mouth, she tilted her head and said, “Zoe have some?” “Oh, Zoe – this is just for Mommy,” I told her. “You’re too young for make-up.” The moment the words came out of my mouth, I couldn’t help but shake my head and smile. Just think how many times I’m going to have to say that over the next 10-12 years!!
