Cutie Patootie...

For the last two mornings, Claire has been choosing a pair of Kaiya and Emmie's earrings and trying to jam them in her own ears. She ends up crying when I won't let her put them in, and just doesn't understand why they get to enjoy all these pretty things and she can't.

Kaiya and Emmie were both two years old when they got earrings, and since Claire just turned two I figured it's about time for her as well. So, I called my mom this morning and asked if she'd be willing to meet me and all the girls at the mall this afternoon so she could help with the other ones while I'm with Claire getting her ears pierced. She agreed to be there, along with my sister, Shannon.

At 10:00, Kaiya, Emmie and I went to the Primary Program Practice at the church. Half-way through the practice Dennis dropped of Claire and Hayden so he could go to the football game (GO BYU!).

As soon as the practice was over I loaded them all in the van and off we went! Claire kept pointing to her ears and saying, "pitty pitty!" although I'm sure she had no idea what to expect. She was excited, though!

At the mall I bought Claire a sucker, and then we took her in to get her ears pierced. She sat there happy and content as can be, just sucking away on her treat. The girl piercing her ears said repeatedly that she's never had a two-year-old be so still and calm! They pierced her ears, and she didn't shed a tear! She looked a little sad for a second, then they put up that mirror and her face just lit up! It was so cute!

I asked her if I can take a picture of her "pitty ears" and she immediately showed them off with a big smile!



Only one more to go! Watch out, Hayden...

How cute!! Stacia has been asking to get her ears pierced lately, I don't think she really understands what will actually happen, but I'm sure I'll give in and let her do it soon.

Katie, next time you wish you had girls, come over to mine or Tarin's house on a Sunday morning when you have three heads of hair to do, plus your own! Oooh, and don't forget about tights! I hate tights.
