Aravis


Of course every child is different, which is part of what makes being a parent so much fun. Ashley and Jude are learning to ride bikes without training wheels, and Aravis is giving herself manicures. She has seen Jess paint her toe and fingernails. Jess has even done Ashley and Aravis' toenails before. This past week, Aravis decided to take things into her own hands (no pun intended). She broke out the markers and headed off to her room. I actually am pretty impressed with how cleanly she pulled the whole thing off. Personally I prefer a single color for all ten fingers (eight fingers, two thumbs), but she's only three years old, and I'm kind of an old guy, so maybe she's onto something. Next time maybe I can tell you all about her other beauty salon adventures, including personal hair care and tattoo artistry...

Looks like the job of a professional. Plus, she takes after her dad. We've still got the nail polish on the footboard of the bed to prove he was a whiz with the stuff!

this is Jess... I cannot for the life of me, remember my username and password. so, sorry - i'm anonymous.

The really scary thing about this marker venture, is that I used to do this myself, so I know exactly what she is doing. I wasn't allowed to have nail polish, so I had to invent alternatives - unlike Peter, who freely embraced his creativity with the paint. just glad to know it didn't go on HIS toes.

On a side note: mom, can you send me an email at jesscrum@msn.com. I sent you one, but not sure if it was your right address - and I wanted to chat with you!!
