Sophie allowed me to put her hair back today for the first time in several weeks.  She also allowed me to change her earrings, after being traumatized by a somewhat worrisome experience in France when one of her earrings actually embedded itself inside her ear.  Yes, that sounds gross and it was gross, but it’s all in the past.

And all is better now.  Sophie’s wearing lovely blue sterling silver earrings that I bought for her as a pre-birthday gift and has her hair up so that she can show off her lobes.  She’s a picture of perfection at almost six years old.  And she still loves to cuddle.
