Bling for Lillian

Lillian got her very own "bling" a few weeks back. Daddy promised her earrings if she worked really hard at speech class. She has made a lot of strives and steps to improve in her sounds. Her pre-school teachers are seeing an improvement and her speech teacher is very pleased. (Yes, she has a long way to go, but it is a good step in the right direction.)
Her reward was pierced ears. She knew it would hurt; she knew it was needles in her ears; she knew it would be one at a time (after what happened with Hanna... don't ask!!!); she knew she would have to be careful; she knew she would have to take care of them; she knew she would not be able to change them for a long while. With all of that she was still excited. She would have diamonds like mommy and sisters!

Before the piercing...

After... the tears still fresh and she was still unsure but she quickly wanted to show them off.
