A Darn Good Day

Dude started school a couple days before Squirt this year, so I took advantage of one last day with my girl before I happily put her on the bus for the year.  She was spoiled rotten for one entire day.  Daddy even joined us for part of it as a surprise.  There's nothing our girl longs for more than her Daddy, so this trumped everything else we did.

One of her BFF's, Molly, got her ears pierced this summer, leading my sweet girl to believe that this too should be her destiny.  Given the fact that Squirt is the most responsible member of our family, we decided to grant her wish.  This was before we realized (after she was perched in the ear piercing chair) that is would cost us $85.  I might have found a underground piercer had I known that tidbit beforehand.  She's now the proud owner of two holes in her head and is sporting her November birth stone with adorable pride.  There are dolphin and skunk earrings awaiting her once the 3 week time period of healing lapses.  It was rather charming walking into Claires Boutique, remembering my ear piercing experience when I was her age.  Millions of ears pierced they claim.

We had lunch with Dad at his big office, where she might have watched My Little Pony in the conference room, headed to the most darling ice cream shop I've come across, stopped at the carpet warehouse since my life revolves around the basement right now, and came home to play cars and babies.  It was quite the day.  And she is quite the girl.
