Sophia Petrillo

I like to refer to Faith sometimes as Sophia Petrillo. 'Sophia Petrillo' of "Golden Girls" fame. 

The girl carries a little purse with her whenever we run errands. She carries it high up on her shoulder, and it looks hilarious. She took this little black, Victoria's Secret handbag with her today to the 4th of July parade. She carried her Ernie doll in it.

This evening before bed, she and her Dee were hilarious playing that they were two girls having a birthday party and a pinata. Maddie's name was 'Susan' and Faith was given the name of 'Emily' (got the names from the American Girl 'Molly' books that they've been reading). They wouldn't answer to anything other than Susan and Emily. Even after Maddie decided her name was now Maddie again, Faith insisted that SHE was Emily: "Dis no Dis, Dis..." "oh, Faith are you Emily?" "ESS!"

Well, Sophia Petrillo/Emily emerged from their bedroom at about 8pm or so with a smile on her face and a sweet "Yi, Momma!" (Hi, Momma). I had seen her with the Tweety purse when they went to bed, but didn't think much of it. The sneaky smile on her face though combined with the unmistakable smell of nail polish made me think there was trouble! I was right. She had decided to go ahead and paint her fingernails and toenails all by herself. It didn't look TOO bad considering she did it all by herself, but she also painted her legs and arms with the green and yellow nail polish. Luckily, it wasn't on the comforter. When I told her never to paint her nails again without asking, she looked at me with the sweetest face and goes "Why, Mommy?"
She finally did go to sleep in our bed with two big baskets of Easter eggs she found in our closet.

She's too darn precious.
