Allowing an elongated pause, I considered my options and decided that saying yes was probably the fastest path to his getting interested in something else. I dolloped polish remover on two cotton balls and showed Lars how to use one to take the color off my toes. He worked on one foot while I worked on the other. After, he carefully examined the color choices and decided which one he'd use. Ok, he decided on four different colors (he was planning a pattern) but I narrowed him down to only one. It was a painful elimination at the last but I've promised there will be other chances to use the color that did not win this time. At several points, Ross called out for Lars to come play but Lars remained interested in my toes, so I showed him how to apply the color. He stuck with the task for all ten toes (go figure).
Not bad, you say? Well...the color he chose is a Del Sol polish, which changes color in sunlight:
Thank goodness the indoor shade is clear!

I had never heard of that kind of nail polish, that's pretty darned cool! Actually, he did as good of a job as I normally do - I am terrible at putting on polish!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
