The other day Sydney was looking at my hands.
Totally serious she asks...
"Why don't you eat your nails when you get hungry?"
It's a nasty habit- nail biting.
I remember when I was younger I did it too. Occassionally when I'm nervous or in a tense situation I will still catch myself. But never cause I'm hungry, gross.
One day I decided I wanted to stop the gross habit and have nice nails. I started by using Nailtiques everyday. It worked. So I told Sydney that it was time for a pedicure. (When your nails are painted you have less tendency to bite them, my theory anyway.)
She choose HOT PINK
I surprised her with these flower decal stickers...
She loved them!
She sat perfectly still while I finished.
They turned out so cute...
(Here comes the bribery)
'Now, if you let your fingernails grow and you don't bite them - they will get longer. Then we can paint them and use stickers too.'
'But Mom, they just taste so good.'
