After dinner Ellie decided to decorate her nails - all of them - while we sat around the bathroom waiting to see if Max would in deed use the potty. Meanwhile, Max decided the nail polish looked more interesting then peeing in the potty. I tried to explain that boys don't get nail polish, but I quickly realized it was futile to a little boy who's big sister was so very happy to be painting herself a variety of colors (Purple, Blue and Yellow). So, I just went ahead and gave his toes a little swag of color as well. He was happy.
This nail polish is fantastic, because it washes off at the first touch of water. So it was short live. It just seemed easier then trying to explain inequities between the genders at such an early age. Seemed to work out for us!
