Bangs and Earrings.

Cute Ab got her ears pierced yesterday while in Park City.
She even asked to hold my hand while getting it done (a request I am still relishing...that, and the "Mom, I appreciate you" that came while fishing for compliments after making dinner tonight).
She has been wanting this for a long, long time and was pretty excited to finally have them done.
As we left Claire's Boutique and began walking towards the car she excitedly said, "Mom...Now I have Bangs AND Earrings."  Between that statement and her huge smile, I knew she felt like the cutest eight year old around. 
(I happen to think she's right).


I sat in the car and remembered for a moment.
I remembered a time when bangs and earrings might have been enough for me to feel good.
(Although I could never quite perfect the fluffed up backwards top curl...so jealous of those girls who could)
I then decided it should be enough now.
I too, can find those little pieces of happy.
In fact, I have bangs and earrings in today...and today, I am feeling good.
Thanks to my sweet Ab for the reminder.
