pierced ears

 Heidi has been wanting to get her ears pierced since after Christmas break.  We decided that she is super responsible and could probably take care of them fine, but if she really wanted them done, she would need to earn it.  So she worked for two months earning small amounts of money for chores and behavior.  She was so determined and so excited when she earned enough.  She was so excited when we went to Claires!  She picked out some really cute flower earrings and she didn't shed a tear!  She has been keeping them clean and looking in the mirror and talking about how many days she has left until she gets to change them.  It s the cutest thing ever.  I'm excited for her to feel so grown up and to feel so thrilled about something she worked so hard for.

Heidi has been weighing heavily on my mind this weekend.  She woke up unable to put weight on her left leg Thursday morning.  With advil and rest, she had a heavy limp by the end of the day.  Friday she was barely limping and I assumed she had maybe
 just strained a muscle.  Saturday she complained about it once or twice, but seemed to be okay.  Today she started limping noticeably and was struggling to go from sitting to standing and vice versa.  To say I am consumed with worry is an understatement.  Nothing happened that we can think of that would cause this other than wearing two different shoes for "Wacky Wednesday".  She seems fine in every other way and she does tend to worry over the slightest pain, so maybe it's not as bad as it seems, but I am very worried.  We will see how she does tomorrow and if it doesn't improve, we will have to go to her least favorite place: the doctor. That of course will be a huge ordeal and I assume we won't even get any answers.  So in the meantime I am
praying my heart out and hoping it is nothing to worry about.

This last picture is one I snapped of the girls having lunch with Heidi on Friday.  They are always so happy when we get to see her during the day.  I'm glad we were able to sneak a lunch in with our favorite kindergartener!
