emily turned eleven this week and today was our first "coed" birthday party... successful thank goodness!
emily wanted her ears pierced and yesterday was the day. i have to say there was a critical moment of panic attack right before she did it that will be etched forever in my brain. my maternal instinct was on high alert and we both had to push through it together. so thankful we did and she is flying high on the success 
when emily declared "it didnt hurt!" her sister wanted to do hers as well... another tricky moment for me. unfortunately lizzie felt some pain and refused the second ear. after 20 minutes of negotiating, a second ear piercing gal earned lissie's trust and convinced her the punk rock look at 7 years old is not "in" at the moment and we got two pierced ears done 
even though i work in the medical field and see some horrific things... its hard to watch your kids go through something painful. i am just glad we made it and the girls are so proud of themselves! 
happy birthday my first born, love ya!!
11! and co ed party!!!! and ear piercing!!!! yikes. how is a mother to handle all of this?
