Mommy's Mascara: "Coot! Coot!"

Sunday, February 1, 2009

So, when I handed her my tube of mascara I didn't think she could get the lid off! In only 2.3 seconds (give or take), Bethany got the lid off, applied mascara to her eyes and then smeared it all over with her hand. So I had to take a picture. I must say, though, having Bethany around as I get ready for the day is very good for my self-esteem. As soon as I put on a shirt she says, "Oh, coot Mommy!" ("Coot" is "Cute" just in case you mistake her meaning.) And when I put on my makeup, another "Coot! Mommy coot!" I LOVE IT! Sometimes she even says "Pitty!" We train her well, don't we? I have to save these moments up for when she's 13 and saying things like, "Oh, Mom! You're not wearing that are you? I'll just walk on the other side of the street . . ."
