Just two weeks ago I asked Ava if she would like her ears pierced and she shook her head. Her older sisters have had their ears pierced for years but she was adamant against it.
Fast forward to a few days ago when she casually mentioned she would like her ears pierced, her hair "professionally" cut and some red highlights put in. We were eating breakfast at the time and most of us dropped our spoons in disbelief. Where did that come from?
So we went to get her ears pierced this morning. I'll probably take her to get her hair cut at the beauty school ($5.00 yay!) but no highlights right now. That is a never ending expense that I don't think is really necessary for a 12 year old.
It's fun to watch the kids grow up but does make me a little anxious. I'll never get this time back and there is so much for me to teach them. But that's how it's supposed to be I guess.
