Ear Drama

So for about a year Miss Fabulous has been trying to decide if she wants her ears pierced. I have pretty much left it up to her to choose when she's ready. Just before leaving Buffalo and my parents we stopped at a mall to walk around for a few minutes. She decided THAT was the time. She was really excited.
Here she is waiting for the lady to get everything ready. She wanted to hold onto her daddy.
Sitting still while the girl cleaned her ears.
Getting her ears marked so they are even.
Waiting.
Beginning to panic. Such a sad little face.
As soon as the girl got the "gun" up to her ear, she FLIPPED OUT! John and I didn't handle it very well. We felt like she should still go through with it since the earrings were open ($40 no matter what at that point) and she had been SO ready. She screamed and kicked and put up such a fuss that there was no way her ears were getting punctured that day. My dad paid for the earrings (thanks dad) and John tried really hard to calm MF down but he was quickly losing any trace of patience he had. We decided to call it a day and left the mall.
We said goodbye to my parents and headed off to John's grandma's house for the night.
MF now has to wait until she is 16 before she can get her ears pierced. Seriously.

I always see little girls flipping out in the mall and never get their ears peirced or just one hole would be dona nd then that would be it. I had mine pierced when I was 3 month old. I waited to peirce monkey's when she was 8 months old in the doctors office. When sh'e older is good too since the "gun" won't look so scary! well, you'll have great earrings for her to use when she's older!

I was just thinking about letting Bekah get her ears pierced for her birthday...maybe not. :) Sorry for the drama! Next time she says she wants them, she'll probably really mean it, though. :)

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
