She Did It!!

The other day we were driving down the street, and out of the blue Lily said, "I want to get my ears pierced". Matt and I have always said she can get her ears pierced when she asked. I figured most little girls start asking to get their ears pierced around 3-4. Not Lily. If we ever mentioned it to Lily, she always said, "No way! It'll hurt". I thought she'd be one of those clip on earing old ladies.
And so without much delay, we drove to the mall and had it done. Lily picked out little pink diamonds. She did AWESOME. Just a small tear and that was it. To ease any lasting pain, we headed straight to the ice cream store for double scoops. Lily thought the pain was definitely worth it for 2 huge chocolate scoops of ice cream that she in no way would ever be able to eat by herself. Way to go Lily. You put your mind to something and you did it! We love you.

    Good Job Lily! I think I the blow would defiantly be better served with 2 scoops as well!

    Way to go, Lily! That is so cute. The whole ear-piercing thing has still not appealed to Kate (at least not enough for her to want to go through with it)... guess I'll just have to keep waiting. Good choice on the ice cream too... a couple of scoops can cure any troubles. Your kids are adorable!
