One for the Girls

Yesterday, I did the unthinkable. I let my toddler do my make up. Alarming, I know. However, I was exhausted (having only three hours of sleep can do that to you, I'm told) and desperate for something to occupy Eden which required minimal effort on my part (either set up or clean up), which we could do together, and importantly, which she would enjoy.
Enter, make up.
Eden loves all things girly. I mean, my child will rough and tumble and get muddy and rambunctious with the best of them, but give her make up/jewellery/shoes/bags and she is in mini-princess heaven. So, when I said the magic words "Mummy's make-up" she beat me to my bathroom and had my make up out before I was even in the room! No exaggeration!


This is me, awaiting my make over with fear and trepidation ( ;> ) ...

 And here's Eden, being very serious but nevertheless keen as mustard to get her little hands into my make up and all over my face (and hair!)...

And lastly, here is my glamorous transformation. Don't I look sophisticated? Haha!

Naturally, Eden had a total blast, and she was very sweet when doing my eyes - gentle and careful. I actually had a lot of fun, and will gladly do it again one day. I think it was special to her that I showed my trust in her in this way, as she was more loving and affectionate than normal afterwards (and that's saying something).
Fun, easy and a good laugh. Give it a go next time your energy is low; even boys have fun with this! But maybe hide the blue eyeshadow first...
