Rites of passage


Late this afternoon,
on the way back from walking our dog at Blendon Woods,
my oldest announced that she'd like to get her ears pierced.
I was so excited.
I've been waiting...
literally for years!
I love jewelry,
especially earrings.
Glittering pretties make me smile.
So as I stood at the counter while she had them done,
I am positive that I was at least as excited as she was nervous.
When it was over,
the smile on her face was one hundred percent girl.
I know that in six weeks,
it will not be a question of if she wants to go to Target and look at earrings but rather, how fast we can get there!
Yay for us!
Being a woman is fun.
