Ear Piercing

This Christmas Adelyn asked Santa for pierced ears. I told her that Santa couldn't come and pierce her ears. She thought about this and decided to ask for a certificate to go get her ears pierced instead. She is a thinker. Always coming up with solutions to her problems. Santa granted her wish with a gift certificate, and we all watched her get her ears pierced. She has wanted this for a while and was very brave. There was no flinching or crying. She feels like a grown up now. This was a hard thing for us (as parents) to let her do. We dont want her to grow up! However, Adelyn has proven to be very responsible about taking care of her body (often getting up early, before school, taking her alarm clock to the bathroom so she can watch the clock while she showers).
