Reading Rewards...

Bella's big day

The day has finally arrived. Bella reached her goal

(which was to read 1 book all the way through

by herself) -- and she actually read 3!

Her reward was to get her ears pierced. She

has eagerly anticipated this day and played

out several scenarios in her head on how it would go.

She did fabulously well.

Pre-pierced ears...
C wanted a last minute kiss

B wanted to hold mommy's hand (I love that)

and C was interested in the accessories

Here we go!

The ladies at Claire's did her piercing at the

same time to minimize pain.. thanks girls!

Cleaning the area ;) -- almost

a tear but she held it in.

All done!


Of course, our little girl picked out the biggest

bling available for starter earrings. They

look great on her.
