Today is Audrey's 8th birthday. She's made her cake and decorated it, we're off to the grocery to get everything for the cheese fondue she requested for dinner, and we'll have a party on Sunday afternoon and open presents then.
The big birthday news is that she decided to get her ears pierced. We've often asked if she wanted to, and she's always said "NO!" But on Monday, she announced out of the blue that she was ready. Scared, but ready to overcome her fear. She squeezed my hand and sat perfectly still. She stops to look at her ears in every mirror we pass, and somehow they make her look so grown up.
I love you, Audrey!
Happy birthday to an adorable young lady!

Her birthday is 8/9? My girls were also born 8/9. They turned two yesterday. We never pierced their ears and are waiting for them to tell us when they are ready. I suspect it will be a while! Happy Birthday to Audrey and congratulations on the ear piercing.

Hehehe, I have the same birthday as Audrey! I already have my ears pierced, though!
