Lily's growing up!

I fear this is just the beginning...

I promised Lily when she was two (when she first asked) that she could get her ears pierced when she was five. I thought that she would want to do it on the day she turned five, but surprisingly, she didn't seem as interested in it as she had been in the past. She has talked about it on and off over the past few months, but in true Lily style, she woke up today and declared that she was ready to get her ears pierced. We had a lot to do today so I told her to think about it throughout the day. When William woke up from his afternoon nap at 4:40, she was still committed to the idea. So, we packed up and headed to the mall. I had prepped her for the pain so she knew what was coming. She shed some tears for about 5 minutes after the piercing but then was just ecstatic about her new earrings. (By the way, she chose October's birthstone in honor of her baby brother - she is such a sweetie.) Daddy joined us at the mall just minutes after the deed was done, and then we all enjoyed dinner at St. Louis Bread Company.


SO, SO proud of her new earrings

I thought they did both ears at once now!? Yikes! Way to go, Lily! Her ears are adorable! I love the dryer picture too by the way, gotta love that kid's spunk! ;)
