It's amazing the tiny things that can fill your heart, as a parent. Yesterday was H's first face painting experience. She looked around excitedly at the other, mostly older children who'd transformed into tigers and fairies, almost disbelieving that she was really able to look the same.
She sat down in front of the fairy who was to paint her little munchkin face and replied, when asked what she'd like to be, "A princess".
This fairy face painter was a pro and worked her magic on little H in a matter of sixty seconds - with the flourish of a sponge, a paintbrush and some glitter, a princess appeared before our eyes.
The expression on her face when she saw herself in the mirror actually caused me to giggle out loud, pure delight at her pure delight. I couldn't stop smiling as she ran around introducing herself to other kids as "PRINCESS, a PRINCESS!".
I've been tired this weekend, but the happiness of my child has made me happier than any sleep in ever could.
