Some things are Ephemeral

M got a silver dragon painted on his cheek after much thought at the Family Fun Fair.   When I hurried him toward bed, he paused, then asked if he really had to wash his hair and face.  Well, yes of course, less allergies to take to bed with you I replied, then paused – he had a silver dragon on his cheek, what was I thinking?

The camera was in the car, DH had the car on errands, so we took a photo with DH’s camera, I’ll ask him to e-mail it to me eventually. “Momma,” M remarked on his way to his bath, “face paintings are like balloons, they are fun for the little while they last.”

Like his childhood?
