The first holes in her head...

Holes she didn't have when she was born, anyway

Her mother and I actually had put this off for a bit; Alaina had started asking a few weeks ago. Her reason for wanting earrings?

"Madison (friend) said I'd look cute!"

Me: "Alaina, that's a VERY wrong answer..."

A few days ago, when asked again...

"Because I think I'd look cute! I want my ears pierced because I really think I like how I'd look!"

That'll do....That'll do.

She is such a cutey! Those are very cute earrings and she was right, "She does look good!" Now it starts!

Is Alaina about 7?

What starts?

What starts?

From 'baby' to 'teen.' While there are some *ahem* difficult moments, the 'aha!' moments of knowing they are currently on the right path more than make up for the :coffee3: moments.

Watching these beings who a few moments ago, you were holding their heads in your hand, turn into beings with their own preferences, personalities, and interests, it's just a miracle! Not too mention an interesting adventure!

I know, I know. Amanda has been giving away a lot her toys and 'kids' stuff ie" little tykes kitchen, desk etc. I'm having a hard time with this stage. I suppose I'll just have to get over it though.

With my youngest turning 21 on Wednesday and having left for college again, yesterday, I'm wondering how my 3 got so old, when it feels like a couple days ago that I was bringing them home from the hospital, stepping on Barbie shoes or leggos in the night?

Indeed - Kids get VERY old, VERY quickly.. :-/

Come to think of it, I'm getting old very quickly too

Well see the trick is YOU have 1 birthday for every 4 of theirs. Then they will eventually catch up!

I see she's wearing a tennis tee. Getting your kid into tennis connotes good parenting skills. Kudos She's a pretty girl too. Nice work.

Is that a dog she's holding? What's his/her name?
