Do you paint your baby's toenails or fingernails?

I was chatting online with another mom friend the other day and she confessed that she paints her baby's toenails. She says it looks adorable when her daughter wears sandals. And, how other people are so amazed at a baby with painted toenails. However, I'm not sure I would paint my own child's toenails and she's almost four years old. I guess all moms are different. I know I would feel odd about painting her toenails if she were a baby. I'm not even sure if it would be safe. So, would you (or have you ever) painted your baby or toddlers toenails? Do you think that it's safe enough to do? Have you gotten good or bad reactions when other moms see the painted baby toenails?

well i dont think i would be able to do that to my 2 year old girl,i would be afraid of her biting the polish off and getting in her mouth.the fumes are harsh enough,let along trying to eat it.
