Daddy and Daughter face-painting moment

Posted on December 2, 2009December 2, 2009 by BritMumInNZ

Sophie is at her quietest and calmest when she’s having her face painted. It’s quite rare for our little chatter box to stop still for a moment and, in the past, face painting has come in handy when we’ve had to wait a while for something like the car to finish having it’s W.O.F. She has always loved taking on a different character and went through a phase of asking to ‘be’ something different every morning over breakfast. Last summer we had some hilarious moments of Sophie and Charli covering their whole bodies in face-paint and bouncing on the trampoline like tribal warriors. And visitors to our house rarely got away paint free. We can’t wait to see what face painting adventures we’ll get roped into this summer!
