Stick-On Earrings

On Tuesday, before heading over to Walmart, Lillian was being just a really great helper with a super upbeat attitude. So when we got to the store I told her that she could get the stick-on earrings that she had been wanting for many months. Well, they were out of them and didn't have any other stick-on earrings in the entire Super Walmart (any other "big" store that would have them by us is about 1/2 an hour away). Lillian was devastated. So, trying to get back that great upbeat attitude, I told her that we could call Daddy after lunch and ask him to stop by the Walmart at his work. Lillian was already planning on wearing them to Awana that next night because she just knew that Daddy would come home with them. Well, they didn't have them at that store either. She was crushed again. Really, just crushed.

That next day, Wednesday, Daniel came home without any Walmart bags again. He told Lillian to get his drink container out of his lunch box for him and what do you know ... STICK-ON EARRINGS!!! Once again, Daddy came to the rescue! He had tried calling every Walmart in the area to see if they had stick-on earrings. He finally found some in Stillwater ... a little out of the way but not far enough out of the way for his little girl. So, Lillian got to wear her first ever earrings to Awana and is still wearing them today. The first thing she said to me this morning after waking up was, "My earrings are still on!" She went to sleep on her back because she didn't want her earrings to fall off!

I guess I wanted to share this because it was just too sweet not to share with you! Here are some pictures of Lillian grinning from earring to earring (which, by the way, barely fit on her little earlobe!) ...
