Ears Pierced!

Allyson finally got her ears pierced.














This past winter, Allyson thought she wanted her ears pierced. Girls in her class had them, and she thought they looked really neat. We made an appointment to get it done, we got to the salon, she picked out the earrings, but once we tried to sit in the chair, that was it, she wanted nothing more but to get out of there. Sooo, I told her we would only go again when she was ready and she decided that is what she wanted.
She has been talking about getting her ears pierced again, and a couple days ago, I asked her if she wanted to get them pierced before school started. Yes - she did.
I made the appointment for today, hoping she would do it. All morning, she was excited to get it done. {We had dentist appointments first, and she didn't do so well there - no teeth cleaning today, just a quick peek in the mouth.} After that, I was really not to convinced that she would go through with getting her ears pierced. Allyson and I went into the salon, (we already had decided to go with some aquamarine colored earrings) so we waited for a chair to open, and Allyson went right over and sat in the chair. She watched them get the guns ready, clean her ears, mark her ears, and CLICK - she was done! She cried a little bit, but was done crying before we left the salon!
YEAH! Way to go Allyson - I am so proud of you for being so brave!
You look so cute (and grown up) with your haircut and ears pierced! (and a couple bug bites!)

Lookin' good... I'm pretty sure my girls will never get their done :) Hallie doesn't even like the thought of it. Reese has been thinking about it (she'd be the one to do it).

We missed you this weekend, but hope to see you all soon!
