Clever Girl

For Averi's birthday she had asked to get her ears pierced so after some discussion michael and I decided that she could so the date was set for the end of September. Well as Averi often does she asked a bazillion questions about getting them pierced. "When exactly are we going?" "Will it hurt, if so how bad?", "I can't wait can we go now?". I carefully answered each question and told her about my piercing memories. After hearing that you have to wait 6 weeks before you can change your earrings the wheels in her head started turning and this is the conversation that followed:
"So Mom how many weeks do you have to wait until you can change your earrings?"
"About 6, Why?"
"Well how many weeks until my birthday?"
"About 6 or 7, WHY?"
"Well I think that if I got my ears pierced now then I could get new earrings for my birthday and change them. What do you think?"
"Well Averi I guess that is true we will have to discuss it with your father"
So after explaining her reasoning to her father we really had no choice but to let her do it earlier then planned. Really I'm still not sure how our 4 year old outsmarted us but it happened. So on Saturday we took a family trip down to the mall and here is the video to prove it .

  2. Mom and dad will have to be right on top of this girl's game because she is so wise at playing it. She can also pull the most sad face ever, like the one she pulled right after they pierced those ears. She is darling and I love her dearly. Looks like I will be looking for earrings that are all about Averi.

  3. Kids are WAY too smart now days! Hey, Averi I got my ears pierced for Mothers Day. Waiting 6 weeks is kindof a pain but worth it to make sure they heal well! Have fun getting new earrings!
