pedicure

Yesterday, when I got home from school, Mateo gave Francesca and me a pedicure.  First he got out the nail polish - a blue lego - then he got the brush - an oversized paintbrush.  He took off my socks and started painting my toenails, "dipping" the brush into his "paint" for each nail.  Mateo painted with such care and precision that it was almost as relaxing as an actual pedicure in the salon - no joke!

In the mornings, as I am getting ready, Mateo often lays next to Francesca and plays with her. Sometimes he shows her a new toy - other times he just talks to her and says sweet things like "Hola, Princesa!" or "Cesca happy!  Cesca so beautiful!"  He is a wonderful big brother.
