Yesterday, we paraded over to the mall and pierced Harriet’s ears. I’d been looking forward to this ever since we found out that we were having a girl. She looks so cute with her sparkly little fake diamond studs! In Elle Woods fashion I want my daughter to grow up knowing that being a girl and being intelligent are in no way mutually exclusive. I want her to know that enjoying pretty things is no more shallow that scorning them. She did such a good job! She cried, but only for a couple of minutes. We had a bottle ready for her right away. She sat and cuddled with Jared while drinking her bottle and calming down.
Here she getting prepped. She held her tongue out the whole time.
It took her a long time to pick out which earrings she wanted.
The betrayal .
So pretty!
