Brown Bear, Brown Bear

Last week in preschool, they learned the letter B...how to make it, the sound it makes, things that start with the letter B...  They also read the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear.  They must have it read it a lot since Carli can now "read" it.

A Special Surprise

Yesterday, while at the mall, I spotted Claire's while Carli and I were riding the Carousel.  We decide to go inside and look around.  A two year old was getting her ears pierced.  We asked Carli if she would like hers done.  She watched and then said, "No," when the little girl cried.  We looked around and Carli spotted Hello Kitty earrings.  That is all it took.

She hopped into the chair and held on for dear life to the stuffed bear they had in the store.

  The lady marked her ears and told Carli she would pinch her ear.

After the first pinch, Carli started a small cry.  I quickly took her hands and face and told her it would only hurt for a second.  Carli wanted to see her new earring, so I snapped this picture to show her.  She was all smiles then!

We were afraid Carli would jump during the second ear so Joe held her head still.  Carli braced for the pinch, but never cried.

 She was all smiles with her new Hello Kitty earrings and couldn't wait to show them off to everyone.  She even talked to people she didn't know.

The next night, we got together with family and she showed everyone.
