I'm a big girl now

As a present for her fifth birthday we took Kaylie to get her ears pierced.  She wanted to do it and didn't know what it entailed so I decided to do it before she had friends tell her exactly what would happen.  She did great until right before the two ladies put in the earrings.  Her face changed, I started telling them to do it before she moved and started to cry and then it was done.  She cried for a few minutes, ran to me and I immediately tried to distract by letting her buy something.  As I was paying I asked her if she wanted to get her finger nails painted.  She was quick to say yes and loved every minute of it.  She did fantastic and sat as still as she could to make sure she didn't smudge her nails.  Jason and I were super proud of her.  It is amazing to see how much more mature/older just having earrings and nails painted can make her look.
