Buddy's Dolphin


We went to my parents' ward's Picnic in the Park last Wednesday, August 24th.  There is a woman who always brings her face painting stuff and paints all the kids faces.  Princess Sparkley decided she wanted something done, but not on her face.  She picked this beautiful unicorn.  Picture one is from my cell phone camera at the park.  Picture two is that night at bedtime in case they woke up in the morning and it was smeared too much.  PS spent a good amount of time at the park trying to convince her brothers to get something painted on their arms.  Little Guy agreed and backed out three times.  She finally convince Buddy when he found out a dolphin was an option.  Now he doesn't want it ever off of his arm.  The sad Buddy picture is three days after the picnic when I insisted he take a bath.  He held his arm out of the water and let me scrub around it.  Again last night (tonight is a week after the picnic) he had a bath, again with his arm out of the water.  It's hardly recognizable as a dolphin anymore, but I'm starting to worry that he may have a permanent smudge on his forearm.  He says we can't wash it off until I either find him a dolphin temporary tattoo, or he gets another one face painted on him.  Oh dear.

The morning of September 1 it looks like this:
This picture makes his arm look filthy.  It's not, just around the dolphin is dirty.  And most of that is paint.
