Rainbow smiles...
With Thomas and Rosie...
and Mommy!
A few weekends ago daddy and Grandma Dewey
took me to the local farmer's market. We picked
out some fresh, local, and organic fruit...yummy!
Daddy also treated me to my first real face painting
experience. I loved it! Although after about an hour
sporting my rainbow, it began to itch my cheek.
I started scratching at it because it bothered me so much.
Mommy asked if she could take it off and I said YES!
Once removed I had a lovely red mark where my
rainbow use to be. Hmm, mommy pondered.
What made my cheek so red? Was it the paint
used for the rainbow or all the scratching I did?
Mommy then remembered her friend had blogged
about her daughter having the same experience
earlier this year and concluding the paint was toxic.
Yes, it's true...face paint made for kids like moi,
can contain lead. I feel lucky I didn't have
a worse reaction. Mommy says we will make our
own face paint from now on. Maybe you should too!
