Rocketship's Piercings

So we've been explaining to the wee one about possibly getting earrings. She has been so excited to look "like mama". We've looked at them in the store and we've played around in the jewelry box at home. We've maaaaaaaybe even bribed her at times (alas, it is true...). Let's just say it's been played up for a bit.

Earlier in the week, we stopped at a shop and looked into it and - boom - before any of us knew what happened, she was the proud owner of two new little studs!

She was SUCH a trooper too, didn't even cry. Well, OK, she flinched! Mom was really good at nipping this early by teaching that, although it will hurt at first, the proper thing to do is to say "Ouchie......I'm OK".

It completely worked!

Here is a picture from "the chair", courtesy of my not-so-good camera phone.

And later in the day at home. Again, she LOVES them!

Even though I think they look great on her, it is just one of those things that makes you realize she's growing up. She looks so much more like a little woman now!
