Believe it or not, my "baby" is 8! (This is particularly momentous to her because she no longer has to ride in a booster seat) We recently celebrated with a party of friends. It's so fun to watch her with her peers. Boo's always been my more independent child, willing to play on her own. She has begun to branch out and find some friends of her own and yes, to navigate the complex friendships of girls. Here is the party crew down below.
Boo still loves her imagination and the limitless possibilities it will provide. It's not uncommon to see her outside making pud pies for her doll or practicing her ninja skills on the trampoline. She always has a song in her heart and on her tongue, whether or not she thinks anyone is listening. Delightful! Above she is pictured with her doll, Kara, who is modeling the new clothes that Grandma made for her. Boo also loves to do her hair.
And finally, Boo wanted to get her ears pierced for her birthday. She'd had them years ago but eventually let them close up. Now she feels "big enough" to enjoy them and take care of them on her own. We made the trip to the store and she nervously sat to have them done. As soon as the first one was in, she emphatically declared that it didn't hurt at all. About five minutes after they were finished, she started to change her mind. :) I love the earrings she chose, little hearts with crystals in the middle. They are just like her - sweet on the outside and twinkly in the middle. I love you Boo!

What sweet pictures. I got my ears pierced when I turned 8, too, and I remember how the burning set in, while we were walking through the mall.
