lucy lost a tooth & betsy learned how to use the potty, so daddy & i decided that eloise needed some love, too!

[also, we've been so focused on avoiding accidents with bea that you'll notice a major absence in her photo visibility this week ;)]

eloise has been asking to get her ears pierced for months & we decided that the day had finally arrived! not one tear was shed- she was so brave & proud! & was set on the sparkly ladybug earrings the second she laid eyes on them :) lucy was literally squealing with excitement for eloise & proved a strong moral support. she told eloise that she was going to write down notes about just how brave eloise was!

& today, i was so lucky to get to take eloise for a brunch date- coffee & cocoa! we followed it with a trip to the dollar tree where she spent 30 minutes before finally deciding a little mermaid yo-yo :)

5 different color selections- decisions, decisions :)

last night, while tucking lucy in for bed she told me, "mom, here's what's NOT my style: no shoes, gray shirt, crazy hair. here's what IS my style: fancy shoes, fancy dinner dress, fancy bow!"

oh, how i adore these little women!
