After she was in there for quite some time without coming out, and I couldn't hear any noise coming from the room, I suspected she was doing something she shouldn't. As I approached her room the door was shut - not a good sign.
When I opened the door and walked in I didn't see her, but I knew she was there - maybe in the closet or behind the dresser. I peered around the bed and she was lying on the floor, half of her body under the bed and the other half exposed. She was sitting up at a funny angle, resting her hand on a small, thin item, trying to hide something, and there were unidentifiable marks on her face.
As I got closer I could see that her hand was on a makeup kit and the blotches on her face was her attempt to put on the makeup.
Being the understanding grandfather that I am, (meaning I understand the need for make up once in a while)instead of scolding her, I asked if she wanted grandpa to put the make up on her. She excitedly agreed.
In my attempt to correct what she had done to herself, while softly talking to her about not touching things that don't belong to her, I made matters worse.
After I took several pictures of her, and we both had a good laugh at the disaster I had made of her face, I decided to give her a bath and remove it.
It was then that I discovered it was going to take more then soap and water to get this cheap makeup off her face. Fortunately, I had some old cold creme in the house, left over from one of the Halloween parties, so I slathered up her face (and hair) and rid her face of the brown oil slick and green eye shadow.
The part that I found the funniest, and was able to capture on video, happened after I took her out of the sink. While I was drying her off I made the comment that her towel looked like a dress - an evening gown. She didn't like that!
She is such a doll, but let me tell you, she is opinionated and mouthy. I love it but I do not know where she gets it!

Chris..thanks for the smile today! this was fantastic...and Noelle...how cute is she? I can feel the LOVE for Grampa from here!
Someday this will be the source of her problems. As she lies on the shrink's couch recalling this day and the upset and frustrations she felt, being demoralized standing on that cold counter in a towel as you took this video. Shame on you, for abusing this adorable baby that way. Hang your head in shame! Just because I did that sort of thing to you doesn't make it right for you to do to Noelle. Did I just say what I think I said. No, I was just thinking out loud. Your loving Mother
