. she can't be big .

i'm trying to refuse the fact that karsyn is getting big.  i know she's still 3, but 4 is in our near future.  i have been very very excited about 4.  like pumping my fist excited that i can see 4 coming soon.  at the same time, i'm still trying to hold on to 3.  especially when she decides she wants to do this ...

look closely.  yep.  that's an earring.  she actually does have another on the other ear.  we're not that weird.  today, was girl time.  just me and my big girl.  we went to the mall to find her some new shoes for preschool that starts wednesday.  we passed a few stores that do piercings and actually had people sitting in the chairs ready to be pierced themselves.  she said, quite confidently, "i wanna do that today."  so we did. 



i know sometimes people make a big deal about getting their ears pierced, but its never been a big deal for us.  i did call Mr. Hill to let him know what we were doing first and then we proceeded.  she was SO big.  she didn't cry at all.  didn't even flinch.  she picked out her very first pair.  of course, i tried to coherse her to pick the diamonds.  apparently a 3 year old doesn't know that "diamonds are a girls best friend".  this is what she picked ...

hello kitty.  HELLO?!?!?  yes, i've always been anti-character-supporters, but i caved and let her pick out what she wanted.  and she stands proud showing them to everyone she sees.  after that, we headed to get matching tattoos.  kidding.
