Milestones

I believe ever since she first noticed them and could vocalize her admiration, my daughter Hailey has asked to have her ears pierced. My answer had always been the same.

Not until you are 10.

To which somewhere down the line I must have pinkie sore that promise to her.
She reminded me of it constantly and couldn't wait until that magical double digit birthday.

Either way, that's just the age that I thought would be best. My theory was that my girls would be old enough to make that choice to their body and it wasn't some sort of decoration I was permanently attaching to this little body. She could wait for them and appreciate them. After all. she wasn't just my little dolly that I am playing dress up with. I also thought that it would be a good age for them to be old enough to actually take care of these. So guess what we did today?
