The past two mornings I've been up and somewhat awake with either one or both of the kids before 6 a.m. Cory's on call this weekend, so he's been getting up to go into work around 5:30. Apparently Accalia and Cole have decided that's just too odd for a weekend so they need to be up, too. Yesterday it was Cole. At least he fell asleep again and I was able to get a little more sleep before Accalia woke up. Today it was Accalia and subsequently Cole, and Accalia's going full steam. At least she's in a great mood. And right now she's painting her nails bright pink.

Her painting her nails reminds me of when I was really little (single digits) and was completely clueless about beauty product. I still am, I guess, but not to the same extent. And now I know that wearing makeup isn't a prerequisite for being a woman. Anyway, I remember taking a bottle of my mom's nail polish and painting my eye lids - just like eye shadow, right? Ouch! Accalia has done anything like that, although she did use white out to paint her nails once.
