Amy is a Tiger

by Veronica on December 29, 2009

in Life

Amy is a tiger. GROWL!

Look Mummy! I am a tiger.

Sigh. So you are.

GROWL!

Oh dear.

[she examines her arms and legs]

I think I need some more stripes. On my arms. And legs.

Oh no you don’t!

I have stripes. On my face and tummy!

Yes. Yes you do.

Oh my! What did she use to make herself become a tiger? Please tell me it’s not permanent ink. If it is permanent ink (or marker), I think baby oil will help remove it. At least, she’s a cute tiger.

Veronica December 29, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Yes, I should have mentioned, it was a permanent marker. Sigh. We got it off with a hefty slathering of vitamin E cream, left to soak in and then face cleanser.

Veronica, it’s BEAUTIFUL! I’d have left it on. It’s very artistic. She will be just like her grandmum that way. 🙂

hehehe the photo is lovely. She looks like a tiger. I think I might have to buy some face paints that I can keep here and then Amy and Nanny can be tigers together.

Cute Picture. Kids do like drawing on themselves and others I had two of the kids in my class draw on each other the other week.

The look in her beautiful blue eyes says it all! Definitely keep this photo to show boyfriends when older. For some reason this reminds me of your mum’s bird bowls. An artistic influence in the gene pool here perhaps? You are a kind and caring mum indeed Veronica to administer a facial, some would have been tempted to scrub with nail varnish remover! As the image appears to all who love to read your blog, there may well be a virtual universal ‘oh Amy’ moment. followed by – oh god its permanent marker pen. Not long now before she’s at school all day and you’ll be missing her………..

I love it, so creative!!

river December 29, 2009 at 4:24 pm

Ooooh yes Kim,!! facepaints!! They were a huge hit in my family.

She’s beautiful, V, when did she get to be so beautiful…..

Gina December 29, 2009 at 5:42 pm

Awwww, such a cute tiger!
Ggrrrrr!

Brenda December 29, 2009 at 6:29 pm

Definitely a keeper for her 21st!

She looks so grown up in this pic. That means we’re *ahem* old-ish. Hehehe…

taz December 29, 2009 at 6:33 pm

Janet B December 29, 2009 at 6:49 pm

LOL! Very cute Tiger – I think face paints are a marvellous idea! Glad you got her clean – that must have been a job and a half! 🙂

Tanya December 29, 2009 at 7:02 pm

It’s beautiful.

You will look back on this photo and laugh.

Martin December 29, 2009 at 9:23 pm

I can’t get over how much she’s changed, the babyishness is gone.

Bendy Girl December 29, 2009 at 10:13 pm

She’s so beautiful! I can never get over how similar the shape of bendy eyes and lips are.
Happy New Year to you all Von, here’s hoping next year is a better one. Lots love BG Xx

badness jones December 29, 2009 at 10:48 pm

She looks gorgeous. Remind me sometime and I’ll send you the photo of Regan finger-painting…

Ree December 30, 2009 at 12:35 am

What a cutie pie. Sorry Ronnie, can’t help giggling here.

Miss Ash December 30, 2009 at 2:47 am

Veronica, this is a stunning photo!
I think you should frame it! 🙂

Note to self: hide the Sharpies and nail polish…

Sharon December 30, 2009 at 11:24 am

Love it! Nanny has the right idea, the clean up will be much easier 😉

Maybe keep Amy away from the tattoo places in her early teens though . . . ?

Kelley @ Magnetoboldtoo December 30, 2009 at 1:57 pm

gorgeous shot. Now for the punishment – facewasher with soap!

Good luck with that… I remember it well.

katef December 30, 2009 at 2:04 pm

and a very beautiful tiger at that!

A Free Man December 30, 2009 at 2:45 pm

That’s an absolutely gorgeous photo. Hope you all had a happy Christmas!

Jeanette December 30, 2009 at 7:38 pm

My word, but she’s beautiful child! Hope it’s not on the walls too!

Jenni December 31, 2009 at 3:52 am

Great shot!

jean December 31, 2009 at 6:24 am

I use to let my son use these face paint type pencils. He would draw all over himself and it kept him busy for a little while. Then he got to take a bath!

This is off-topic, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE this lady’s writing. And her description of the baby is classic 🙂

talina December 31, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Yikes… but oh so adorable at the same time. Reminds me of when I supposedly painted my walls with poop. “look mommy, I decorated!”
LOL.

Kari C December 31, 2009 at 6:37 pm

She is a beautiful tiger!!! Enjoy these moments even though they can be tiring, they don’t last very long. Isaac is sooo handsome!!

Kristin January 1, 2010 at 9:15 am
