[here we are waiting for adam to try on jeans. P.S. all the girls dressed themselves. Can you believe Megan's outfit? Is that what you call personal style or no style at all?]
Bella and I made a deal (after all I want her to be responsible enough to take care of her own ears) if she practiced her violin everyday for a certain amount of time without me asking (this was key) she could get her ears pierced. She almost had it a few times, but unfortunately had to start over because she missed some days. Needless to say she was very vigilant in keeping her end of the bargain when she knew I was. When we got to the mall she was super excited, but you could see it in her eyes, she was a little apprehensive.
As you can see she took it like a champ. Well done Bella! You can't really see the earrings in this photo, but she ended up picking out cute silver balls to wear for the next loooong while.
At the moment Bella is reading over my shoulder and she said, "Mom, it didn't feel like a pinch, it felt like a staple going through my ear, but I'm still glad I did it." So there you have it...her words.

How cute! I love how you decided she was ready, Im going to rememer that!
How exciting! She looks older already.
What a great way to encourage her to work towards a goal and great that you stuck to it!
Oh and Megan is all about personal style :)
So sweet. You can see the excitement on her face. She is adorable. That's a great lesson you taught her about working towards a goal. I hope it sticks (and you don't have to keep reminding her anymore). Way to go Bella!
I thought Adam refused to buy jeans? I see you were at BR... did he find any?
I love how you documented this!
she looks adorable.
What an excellent way to determine Bella's readiness for responsibility! I love the photo of all you girls in the store, too.
Megan's outfit is CLASSIC!
Cute girl...what a fun mom you are!
