The Dirt Princess

Yesterday morning I was painting my fingernails and Mads walked up. She got SOOO excited when she saw the fingernail polish and started putting her fingers and feet up at my hands all the while just a SQUEALING!!! Of course, it very much excited this mom of four boys to see her little girl so excited about nail polish already. She has always done good at sitting still and letting me paint her toenails letting them dry, but she has never "asked" (or demanded) to have hers done.

So, I painted her toenails and then for the first time did her fingernails since she was so excited (getting her to sit still for twenty nails and then drying was a bit of a stretch). She looked so cute in her girly, ruffly outfit, her earrings and her pink toes and fingers.

THEN, she went outside with her brothers. Well, let's just say the girl knows how to get as dirty as they do. Although, I do believe that when she came in she was in a close second for dirtiest (right behind Andrew). She IMMEDIATELY found a planter that was full of potting soil (but no plants). She decided to see how potting soil tasted.


Daddy was drinking a bottle of water, so of course Mads wanted some. After he shared with the dirt princess, Daddy decided he was no longer thirsty and gave her the bottle. She started off with the lid on:



Then he decided "what the heck" and opened it for her:



So much for the cute ruffly girly outfit (as water dripped out of her mouth and all over her)! :) But, she knows how to work a crowd, she starts blowing kisses:



Then she decides to see what happens when you turn an open bottle upside down:


Then she thought she would have a seat and turn it upside down:
She quickly learned that water from the refrigerator is
C-O-L-D!!

The conclusion we came to at the end is that we have the CUTEST wet, DIRT PRINCESS that ever toddled the land:

(she was kissing the whole time I was taking pictures - that is why her lips are puckered in a lot of the pictures)


On another note: she has enough hair (barely) for a clip with no headband :)
