Try as he might ... plus, a manicure.

The manicure first.

Maya got some press-on nails for Christmas, part of a collection of makeup and other girly things that came in one big Disney Princess-themed backpack. Thank you, Auntie Pam.

The other night at dinner she started talking about her backpack. We thought it was the other Disney Princess-themed backpack she carries with her to school, but no. Finally it all sank in, the backpack was found in her room, and the fun began.


There is something really silly about seeing a little girl with nails long enough to make her comfortable on the cocktail circuit, but Maya wore them well ...

... until she took them off and buried them within the sofa cushions.

Owen, meanwhile, has a new nemesis: my new camera's flash. The following is a series of photos from last night ...


I was laughing at his struggle. My camera takes photos in very rapid succession, but I could not get a photo of him with his eyes open. Finally, Owen decided on his own to take the Clockwork Orange route and hold his own eyes open. This, too had mixed results.




We'll keep practicing. I'll keep you posted.
