I can tell Ellie is growing up. Twice during the past week we have found her wrapped up in her curtains looking out her window when she should be in bed sleeping. She knows she is supposed to go to bed when it is dark out and the street lights come on, I think she looks out the window to make sure that they are actually on. What happened to my little girl that used to ask me to get her out of her bed?!
We also had two incidents this weekend where Ellie was found putting stuff on her eyes. First it was lotion... because her eyes itched (or so she says). Then yesterday she got into my make-up (after she told me she would leave it alone, of course). Oddly enough, she picked the neutral color make-up and not the pink or blue ones. Nick mentioned that he think they have a play make-up area in the next room up at day-care and she is getting the idea to put things on her eyes from there.
That brings me to my next dilema... do I put play make-up on her birthday/Christmas list or not. I would rather have her play with child safe make-up (and not my more expensive make-up or something that could hurt her eyes) if she is going to, but I also would rather not have her playing with make-up this early (mainly because of the mess I envision it causing). Thoughts?

We got hannah some kid safe make up for Christmas last year, and maybe a little the year before, and it was becomming such an issue. I don't want her wearing it out of the house, and when she would put it on, she's get blue eye shaddow on her quilt or carpet or make some other mess, plus look rediculous. I ended up taking it all and putting it in a tupperware contatiner up high in my bathroom. I'll get it down for her on rare occasions, but mostly I wish I'd never bought it!
I've seen on etsy where you can take old make up containers and clean them out, then paint the inside to look like make up. Fun make believe without the mess!
Thanks Emily! I makes me not want to get it even more. I love the idea of using old make-up containers with paint in it, I may have to look into that.
