[quote=Anonymous]Funny-- my daughter was an infant when this thread was started, and I remember thinking at the time NO WAY!

Well, now I have a three year old. She wants anything and everything she sees me wearing. I have to put my high-heeled shoes on the highest shelf, because she insists on putting them on and trying to walk, and I'm afraid she's going to sprain an ankle. She actually cries big fat tears when I tell her she can't wear my earrings (her ears aren't pierced). She appropriated one of my old makeup brushes as her own, so that she can put on pretend makeup in the mornings while I'm getting ready. So, for her 3rd birthday, I finally caved and painted her toenails the brightest, least-sexy color I could find. She was simply over the moon. Wouldn't keep her socks on for more than 10 minutes at a time, before pulling them off to admire her electric blue nails. After a couple days, I started chipping the paint off a little at a time in the bath, and after a week, it was all gone, no chemical remover needed. Since I'm wearing socks and slippers around the house now, she doesn't see my painted toenails, and she's not asking for it as much.

So my experienced revision of my previous position is: Special occasions only.

Oh, and agree with one of the PPs on temporary tattoos. Tackiest thing ever. I will never budge on that. [/quote]
