Birthday Manicure

For Ellie's third birthday we decided to start a cute little tradition of going for mommy and me manicures. She has had her nails painted by me before but has never gone to the salon. The place where I go offers "princess manicures", polish and a flower for a child under 10. She was so excited all day and kept talking about wanting to pick blue for her color. I had told her that I would get the same color she picked out so that we would match. I was a little worried about the blue, until I saw the first color she picked out when we got there. NEON pink. Oh boy. Thankfully we had to wait a little and Ellie was wiggly enough that she kept going back and picking out different colors. She settled on a bright, but not neon, pink. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was her birthday. She was so excited, but managed to sit really still while her nails were painted. She loved having to put her hands in front of the fan and then the nail dryer. She didn't smudge them at all and the little rhinestone they put on her flower lasted through diner before she picked it off. It was a huge success and we are both looking forward to our little birthday tradition! Anyone have any ideas for a Daddy and me birthday tradition for Tony and Matthew?
