Sneaky little monkey!

Ava likes to play with my makeup so occasionally I'll let her take a powder brush or I'll help her put on some light lipstick. This evening she wasn't satisfied with the usual allowance so I decided to let her play with a nearly empty loose powder container.

We sat down and played with it together; she would dip the brush into the powder and pat my face with it and then her own. She kept trying to sprinkle the powder on my head but even though almost nothing was coming out I didn't want her to in case some came loose and I ended up with a big powdery head.

She then found a cotton ball and started brushing my face with it and ordered me to close my eyes.

"Close your eyes mummy... keep them closed... don't open your eyes yet... 'sprinkle, sprinkle!'"

I opened my eyes when I heard 'sprinkle' and saw her shaking the powder over my head!! The cheeky little monkey shrieked when she saw me open my eyes and realised I had caught her!

I can't believe she tricked me into keeping my eyes closed just so she could sprinkle the powder on my head!
