Baby's First Tattoo

Brian and I clearly remember Madeline's first tattoo.  It was a painful experience for all involved.  Unckee-T and Auntie Meg came for a visit and thought it would be fun to bring their 2-year old niece a package of press-on tattoos.  After we all proceeded to apply our tats, we put one on Madeline.  She took one look at her arm and started screaming!!  I couldn't find the alcohol soon enough to prevent a full on melt-down.  Flash forward 2 years, and she has finally overcome her fear of tattoos, and now thinks they are somewhat fun.  She decided this morning that she wanted one before we went out to run errands.  Of course, Olivia noted all the commotion and decided she wanted one of her own.  We were hesitant to apply one, after our traumatic experience with Madeline, but Olivia really wanted in on the action.  She of course, had her older sister to model after and she thought her new tattoo was pretty cool.

This night at dinner Brian and Madeline were showing off their tattoos, followed by a "Boom!"  A few seconds later, Olivia starts joining in, flaunting her tattoo and "Boom" skills as well!  She had us all cracking up!  Of course, this was totally unprompted, and when we pulled out the camera we didn't get quite the same excitement level, but at least you get the picture....
