First the Ears...

and 10 years from now, she'll probably ask to get her belly button, nose or eyebrow pierced...but hopefully not all three!

Sunday we took the kids to the mall so that Ella could get her ears pierced! We went to Claire's. They did both ears at the same time. Ella was a VERY brave girl. I could tell that it hurt and that she was trying very hard not to cry.



We had to wait for a little bit, so Silas had to amuse himself...does he look more like Dexter from Dexter's Lab or Drew Carey?

I think a little more like Drew...

Ella has been doing a great job of reminding me that we need to clean her ears 3 times a day and then she turns her earrings. She is taking the responsibility very seriously.




Silas, on the other hand, is taking his responsibility to be ROTTEN very seriously. I know that he's gotten his hiney spanked at least 10 times in the last week. He's totally not listening, doing the opposite of what we say and wants to do everything "by myself!". But man, he's cute and cuddly....
