A MAN-icure and Pedicure

As the only female in a house of boys, Mommy sometimes looks for moments to do "feminine" things. Today she decided it was time for a manicure and pedicure. She pulled out all her supplies - clippers, a foot file, emery boards, scrub and lotion, and nail polish - and then filled a bowl with warm water. Aden, of course, was immediately interested. With a bowl of water set on a towel on the floor, and Mommy soaking her feet in it, what 2-year-old wouldn't be curious? He wanted the experience, too, so Mommy washed Aden's feet and put lotion on. Then Aden wanted to know what all the colored bottles were for. And he wanted to try some on his nails, too. That was where Mommy drew the line. She told him he'd have to wait for Daddy. Mommy did get her nails done, just before Wiley woke up hungry, and Aden found his own use for the nail polish - hauling it around in his dump truck!
