The other night, Shane was coloring with Claire and he "painted" her toenails purple with washable marker. She was very excited about her first pedi.
About 15 minutes later, Claire came into the family room with some additional body art. She colored her face, belly, left foot and her ENTIRE lower right leg green. My initial reaction was - what did you do?!? I didn't say it, but she easily read it on my face and got embarrassed and started to cry. Of course it wasn't a big deal and my initial reaction wasn't fair. I assured her that she was not in trouble and we all had a good laugh.
(I need to temper my reactions, even when something might mean a little more work or inconvenience for me - within reason of course!)
