The very short lifespan of cat makeup



At a school fair today, Maya had her first--and definitely not last--experience with face painting. I was impressed that she: 1) let anyone do anything to her face (since teeth brushing, face wiping, and hair washing are an ongoing battle), 2) sat still long enough for it be reach this level of finish, and 3) kept it on for the entire seven-block walk home. But most impressive, was that the minute she got home she happily let me take it all off before naptime. Considering how she morns the gradual loss of a temporary tattoo, I thought we were definitely going to be living with a daughter in deteriorating cat makeup for days.
