Rowan gets her ears pierced!

Are you kidding me? I can't believe she did it either!! We went to the mall yesterday to get her a new winter coat - Parker and the girls wandered out of the store as I was paying...I come out of Children's Place and Parker says, Rowan wants to get her ears pierced...WHAT?! Turns out Claire's is right next door to the Children's Place - she saw it and decided the time was right....so I took her in to look around, asked if they had two people on staff to do both ears at once...yes....took her to the front and away we went! She picked out purple (of course) studs...looked a little nervous as I was getting all the directions on how to take care of her little ears after the fact but kept saying she was not going to change her mind....I signed my life away, we got our picture taken ahead of time - and boom it was done...I flinched more than she did. She didn't even make a sound. Then she got the "I just got my ears pierced" sticker to wear and could not have been more proud. I could not have been more proud of her. She decided she was ready, never backed down and never cried. My baby.






Prior to that we had wandered through Macy's from the parking lot and they had a letter to Santa writing station set up - in true 4 year old fashion she sat down to write Santa a letter - it was awesome. BTW we have a camera on us at all times now because we got Parker a little compact one - we got lucky today to have it on us for both of these situations!
