Notice anything different about me?

Now that Helena is going off to kindergarten, it means she is old enough (in our family) to get her ears pierced!!

I took her last Saturday on a Mom and Helena date to Claire's. She wasn't nervous at all, just very excited, even though there was only one employee there so she had to have her ears pierced one at a time.

Hugging Claire while the worker gets everything ready.

And here she is!! She did great, didn't cry or even flinch--in fact, she kind of giggled after the first one. You can't tell, but her earrings are tiny gold stars. They are darling and they were also the cheapest option, so Mom was happy too. This picture also shows off Helena's cute new haircut! She sure is a cute kid!
