Mama’s make up bag {the ordinary moments} #15
It’s time to link up with Katie for the ordinary moments.
Arthur is really into emptying bags and boxes and filling them back up again at the moment. The one that he enjoys the most, more than all his toys is my make up bag.
Since living here my make up bag is on the extreme minimal side (will be topped up this summer that’s for sure!) but even so, I can understand why it’s so interesting to him, lots of different shapes and colours, liquids, solids and all the inbetweens!
There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t find this scene
I love watching the concentration on his little face as he goes about his very important task of emptying everything out, taking lids off everything and putting it all back in again (minus the lids).
As I don’t wear make up hardly ever here (the poor people of the Seychelles, I know!) he hasn’t yet started to copy and attempt to put any of it on which I am greatful for, not because he’s a boy but because it’s difficult to get anything decent here to replace it, no popping down to boots!
Another one of the ordinary moments that make up our day!
I’ve just right now realised as I was about to hit ‘publish’ that this is also the last ‘the ordinary moments’ post I will do where Arthur is under 1, his birthday is on Thursday. What a reality check of how fast things have gone, and how pleased I am that I join in on these posts!!! The ordinary moments change so fast things that were once ordinary become replaced so incredibly quickly, I’m so happy I have these little moments recorded!
Happy Sunday
Aww what a cutie, it;s amazing how they can concentrate so hard on a simple little activity, and lids seem to be of endless fascination! I can definitely understand how pleased you are at him not doing anything with them! Monkey had a real fascination with my deodorant bottle when he was small but I always had to keep an eagle eye out for when he started to be able to take the lid off, don’t want him getting that in his mouth or eye or something! Such a cute stage though and Happy Birthday to Arthur for Thursday! xx #theordinarymoments

Haha I know this all too well, in fact I posted a photo on instagram just this morning of LL doing the same thing- she likes doing it to my wallet and all the cards though. Funny little creatures. I hope that Arthur has the most lovely of birthdays- I can’t believe he is one! Can’t wait to read all about his special day. x

What a cute photo, Archie is starting to get an interest in all non – toys, such as the remote, my phone and basically anything he can get his hands on. Hope you all have a lovely day on Tuesday for his birthday xxx
Happy birthday to Arthur! He just so love your make up. Look at his concentration! An ordinary moment yet priceless and magical =) #OrdinaryMoments

I do love my summer make up bag, minimal suits me. So cute that he does this, I remember Lil G doing exactly the same, thankfully he grew out of it although he does currently have a love for my nail varnish, eek. We are also celebrating his birthday on Thursday, they share a birthday, cute! Happy birthday to him for Thursday x

Aww bless! My Elma has always loved taking things in and out of bags too – although for her the favourite is my wallet – I keep having to check that I’ve actually got my bank card before I leave the house!!

We have had to put our make up bags under lock and key after midnight raids led to to nail varnish all over the bathroom floor :-s

Aww, he’s so cute. I hardly ever wear make up so Toby hasn’t got his hands on mine but he is similarly fascinated with creams and lids and generally anything other than his toys!
