Grandma's Bag

My Mom came to stay with us this weekend and of course like all good Grandma's she brought presents. Novan got a new Transformer and Beya got newly outfitted with a tu-tu, dress, hair clips, and headband. Of course she wanted to wear them all (except the headband which fell on the floor) and yes that's her PJ's underneath and yes, she went to bed like this.

Grandmas are great for letting little Granddaughters get away with things that Mom wouldn't have the patience for like going through your makeup bag.

Beya spent a lot of time checking out each item in the bag, opening it, dabbing some on, and putting the top back on. She must have done this with each item 4 or 5 times. She especially liked the contact lense case I think because each side had a little "water" in it which I guess intrigued her. Her intrigue was quite entertaining.

Beya even got to put makeup on Grandma! Oh dear...

Beya thought everything was supposed to be dabbed on her cheeks, even the lipstick although some of it did make it to her lips. Oh, and there's the headband. Totally NOT something mom would have bought but Grandma's can get away with.

Let's not forget to brush our hair! Beya's girlish instincts continue to amaze me. It is hard to believe that that little person is half me, after genetic recombination of course. What's even weirder is that she is half Brad's, where did that half go? I just love watching Beya grow up, she is such a joyful little person and each day she shows me something new about herself. What a wondrous experience this parenting thing is!
