Today I took Violet to get her ears pierced. If you had asked me today if that was on my list of things to do, I would have said No. But, alas, it happened.
Violet started biting her nails right before her 2nd birthday. Then she quit right before we went to Haiti. Then she started again. Then she quit again and then the boys came home. So, obviously, with big transitions, Violet feels anxious and bites her nails. So, to bribe her, I said she could get her ears pierced. She said she didn't want to do that. Then, about a month later, (after seeing the neighbor Gwen's earrings) she decided she did want to. Today, I looked down and there was white at the end of all of Violet's nails. So, we went and got her ears pierced. She did awesome and didn't even cry (or bite her nails).
We then hung out at the mall with the brothers and then went to target and then bought pajamas for all of us. We shared a coke and a pretzel 4 ways!!! It was one of the best days ever!
It was weird rocking my little darling baby girl to sleep with those shiny new earrings. Someday she'll get big and leave me. Man I love that kid!!! IT HURTS! I did shed a tear. I love you Violet!
