Amelia's Special Gift

Amelia has been asking to get her ears pierced for as long as I can remember. We have been waiting till she was old enough to be sure about her decision and mature enough to take proper care of them. We were in no hurry for her to grow-up. It's so hard to keep little ones little these days. When my trip got delayed, and it became clear I would miss her birthday, I began thinking about an extra special gift. Amelia joined our family as a three year old, so I missed her first three birthdays. I never thought I would miss another one. My heart was so heavy to miss her special day. I began to think about the ear piercing and how much she has matured over this past year and the timing seemed right. Her daddy agreed and on Wed April 30th the whole family went to Claire's for the big event.


She looks like she is about to be tortured. I think this was when she was told it would feel like a shot. She is learning early that beauty comes with a price :)
