Chapped Lipstick

Evelyn has developed a bad habit lately of picking at her lips when she's tired. As a way of encouraging her NOT doing this and to help her chapped lips heal I give her Chapstick whenever she asks for it. The system has worked pretty well so far. Usually I ask her to not pick her lip and that reminds her to ask for Chapstick. Sometimes I've even seen her remind herself.


And then today she reminded herself while we were running errands. Unfortunately for me I forgot my Chapstick and only had a tube of lipgloss. Needless to say my 2 year old had colored lips years before I said it could happen. I think my exact words were something about over my dead body...


It's still not allowed, I'll just have to make sure I'm more diligent in remembering Chapstick until this issue has healed.

I can't help but think about this commercial. About 40 seconds in. *pop* Lipstick!
