Beth the Beautician

Yest, Beth decided she wanted to examine Mummy's face a little more closely.

With a piece of tissue, she grabbed my face with her pudgy little hands and began scrubbing away (*ouch*) at the mask of pregnancy that had developed on the sides of my nose.

She went on in an attitude of seriousness for a really long time, scrunching and tossing tissue after tissue before she was finally satisfied.

Me - I was just revelling in the sheer intimacy of having my little girl touch my face so tenderly and reverently and treating my flaws with such fierce care.
