Just like mommy

When I was in Texas, I stayed at Emily and Jon's house on Saturday night before my flight out Sunday. Little Lauren watched me put on my make-up at the kitchen table Sunday morning (while she had an adorable amount of food on her face) and then she made a bee-line for her mother's make-up bag a little later. It dawned on me that I had never let Ellen play with my make-up, and I thought she would probably enjoy it.

I thought correctly.

As a person who likes to have everything in its place, it is sometimes a challenge for me to let Ellen mess it all up, but the joy on her face is certainly worth it in the end.

She spent almost an hour last weekend moving all of my make-up around the bathroom ...

(and giggling from the ticklish brush. "Is dis toof-brush?" she says ...)

I know this picture is fuzzy, but this is the only time we have captured this funny face that Ellen makes. She curls her lip, has a dimple by the side of her nose, and is usually saying "what is dis?"

Again, continuing with the theme of stacking and then moving items.

Juuuusssst tall enough!
