Gems for Jules
It's such a great title, so I borrowed it from Diana's blog. Yesterday, while my wife and youngest daughter were out shopping, Juliana expressed an interest in getting her ears pierced.
Now, this has happened before and when Juliana shows an interest, Diana would usually ask Jules, "Would you like to get your ears pierced?", to which she usually replies, "No."
Yesterday was different. Jules wanted to get earrings. Diana let Jules pick out a pair that she wanted. Then it was time...
I had always thought that Jules would cry when she got her ears pierced. I remember Diana explaining the process to her and what it would feel like.
To my surprise and relief, the piercing went very well with no crying, just a precious 4 year-old admiring her new earrings.
Juliana later told me the story, pointing to her newly pierced ears and I realized just how much like her mom she was... strong, able to withstand pain and able to see the joy in the little things in life.

LOL... I'm sorry. I do have a some pictures, I just haven't uploaded then yet.
I *DO* have to get them up here and will tonight. She is so cute. If you ask her about them, she'll turn her head and motion to them.
Big, Daddy leaving a post with no pic....Shame on you mister.
Jeanne, she also says they are "spawkaly pink", and mommy wanted me to get wubies(rubies).
