Happy Muslim Mama: Picture of the Day: 26.07.14 – Baby Henna

I’ve wanted to put henna on Darling before but previous attempts at very simple small motifs have ended up with the henna smeared or wiped off immediately.  My neighbour is a dab hand at henna art and applied this design whilst Darling was still sleepy after a nap.  She held both her hands and distracted her until the henna had dried a little.

I can’t believe how girly this child is – henna, bangles. nail varnish on her hands and feet any chance she gets.  She has destroyed every lip balm she can find in the house and will chase us with any cream she can lay her hands on, demanding we open it so she can rub it in her hands then wipe it into her cheeks.  This week she found my kohl and managed to get it into the carpet, my duvet cover and my face and neck whilst I was taking a nap.
