Earrings

Well, it is official, our baby is no longer a baby. We took Kylee to get her ears pierced today. She was so excited. She admitted on the way there that she was kind of nervous but was looking forward to it. 

Here she is waiting for the guy to call us back.

 She was nervous but calm UNTIL we walked into the room. As soon as we walked through the door, she couldn't hold in her nerves any longer and she started crying. She was so afraid that it would hurt. It took awhile for us to convince her that it wouldn't and that it just felt like a little pinch. Richard finally just picked her up and put her in the chair.

                            Cleaning her ear.

                                      
                             Here goes the first one.

That wasn't to bad, so here goes the second. Richard tried to get out of the guys way and he let go of  Kylee's hand, but she made him come right back and hold it.

                 Yep, all that crying and worrying for nothing.

Kylee has always been a worrier. She tends to over think most things and always fears the worst but once it is all over with, she realizes that it "wasn't so bad". 

Important life lessons taught by a 2 year old

You know the old saying "children teach adults more then adults teach children", (ok, I don't really know if that is an old saying or not, but people say it all the time so I am calling it an old saying) well, I couldn't agree more. When we grow up, the seriousness of life sets in and we spend more time worrying about things we can't control and forget to enjoy the things that we can. As I was watching Ella go about her morning routine today, I realized that if I just pay attention, she could teach me some very important life lessons. Here are a few that she taught me this morning:

Breakfast should be eaten in pj's while watching your favorite cartoon.

Always wake up with a smile on your face.

Kisses have magic powers that make owies feel better every time.

There is no such thing as to many hugs and kisses.

Fruit snacks make everything better.

Always say "Peas" and "Tank you".

Love unconditionally.

Isn't she smart? I thank my Heavenly Father every day for sending me 3 of his most amazing spirits and an equally amazing husband to help me raise them. I am truly a blessed woman.
