I’ll have a post later for an update with Peyton’s clinic visit today. Right now I’m trying out a new thing called Special Exposure Wednesday, on a new site 5 Minutes for Special Needs. I’ve waffled about whether or not Peyton actually falls under the special needs blanket. However, she has extraordinary needs and I find her pretty special.
So, my picture for Special Exposure Wednesday is a big milestone for Peyton. Last year she started asking to get her ears pierced and the doctors always said no, her immune system was too supresesd, not to risk any chance of infection. So I kept telling her no and she kept being disappointed. I think the recent loss of so much of her hair really hit her in the girly department.
The last time we asked we got a 100% GO FOR IT! I was a little shocked and Peyton was thrilled to the tips of her multi-colored toenails. We did it. She was brave and strong and wasn’t too worried about it. After all, when you get a needle poked in your chest on a regular basis, what’s a little poke in the ear?
She’s very excited, she’s picked out her studs and is ready to GO!
Prepping the perfect poke
She was brave and didn’t shed a single tear!
First piercing….we’ll try to hold off on the belly button until college

She is absolutely precious. We could all learn a little about courage from her.

I can now see where Peyton gets her spirit and personality — from her Mom. You are always putting Peyton and the rest of your family before anything you want — I believe that is the way it should be, although some would disagree. She looks adorable and looks thrilled with the piercing.

Oh my, I got lost in Peyton’s amazingly beautiful eyes.
Then I got all smiley at the girly stud. Peyton, I love it!
And don’t you doubt for one minute that Peyton should be a part of Special Exposure Wednesday. She, and every child, is special. So happy to have you join.

Sorry Anissa – this message is for Peyton…
Peyton,
WOW! You are such a big girl! I’m so proud of you, I can hardly stand it! I wasn’t near as brave as you were when I got my ears pierced and I’m a GROWNUP (most of the time)! Meg has been wanting to get her ears done but she is too scared. I wish you could come with us when she decides to do it. You would definitely help her feel braver! I wish I was there to see those sparkly little earlobes in person and to give you a great big hug!!!
Love,
Jennifer
