Growing up

OK, so I know there are some moms out there against ear piercing-hubby and I thought it was best to let the girls decide (after age 6). So T finally got brave. We went once at her 7th birthday but she got scared. This week she squished a spider on her own and for some reason that seemed to give her the confidence she needed. So tonight we went to the mall and I was very surprised that it went to well. There was only one lady so each ear was done individually. She didn't cry and she held still. They look great!

Hubby said she looked older today. I do think they make her look a bit older...but she also got new glasses that are of a design that is older looking. Her old glasses are pretty scratched. So we will keep these as the inside, no horse play ones and the old ones for everything else.

I don't know if other moms feel this way, but my heart breaks a little for A. Being the younger girl she sees T do all these things and her turn has to wait and it may not seem as exciting when she gets there. It's been hard for me. I grew up with a brother and so there were different firsts for each of us. I am trying to remember everything so A can do them all in her time at about the same age. I am trying to be fair but it's hard when things keep changing.

I also have to say that my heart aches a little for my babies. 90% of the time I wish I could keep them small (babies). But I know God sent them to me for my growth as well as to train them up for His will. I just hope I am doing a good job.
