Finally!

I’ve been asking the girls if they want to get their ears pierced for the last 6 months. They first said they’d do it when they turned 5 and then when that came and went, they decided to wait until they turned 7! J Well, on Saturday, April 2, Abby and I went to Kohl’s to look for them some cheap summer clothes. While checking out, Abby announced she wanted to get her ears pierced. I just said “ok, whatever”. She said “no, right now”. I told her I’d take her to the mall but if we went, she was getting them pierced…no changing her mind! She said that was fine. So, she and I snuck (we didn’t tell anyone) to the mall. We went to Claire’s and she picked out little rainbow colored flowers. She hopped right up there and sat through all the cleaning and marking of the ears, etc. She never did anything but smile. Two workers came back and on the count of 3, she was done! She never even flinched!! She was soooooo excited!! We went straight home and showed Daddy and Ally (who was asleep on Daddy’s lap!). Ally was excited for her. We also went right to Grandma’s to show her!! While at Grandma’s, Ally said she wanted to do it. It was like 7:30pm by this time. I knew we had a busy day the next day and thought she might chicken out if we waited. So, we ran back home, picked up her blankie and headed back to the mall. She was good, sat up there, and picked out some light blue flower earrings. As the girl was (slowly) getting everything ready, I could tell she might cry and was getting nervous. She was holding her blankie tight. Once the girls finally got the guns ready, she was smiling nervously. 1-2-3 and pop….she started to laugh a little and then started crying hard! J I picked her up and we all cheered that she had her ears pierced and showed her in the mirror. She finished crying before we even paid. So, after that, we went back to Grandma’s and then finally home at around 8:45pm. I was exhausted but the girls looked so cute!! They have to wait 6 weeks to change them. Just in time for Totten Hall’s Graduation!!!!
