Kate got her ears pierced today!
She's been asking to for a while now. From the beginning, we've explained to her that it's a big responsibility to care for them, and we would want to see evidence from her that she is ready to handle that when the time came. She really rose to our challenge, and ,since that initial conversation, has grown so much in personal responsibility and taking care of her things. So, we decided it was time!
The best part about it was I got to surprise her!
We were at the mall getting a birthday gift for a friend. After we had finished shopping, I told her how proud we are of her and how we'd noticed what a great job she had been doing of caring for her things, etc. Then I asked her if she'd like to go get her ears pierced : )
She about squeezed my hand off, she was so excited!! I LOVE a good surprise!
