Tink has been begging to get her ears pierced for months now. DH and I decided before she was born that we would not get her ears pierced while she was a baby. We would wait until she asked and until we thought she was old enough to be responsible for helping to take care of her ears. Well she's ready...or so we thought!

After her Veritas graduastion we went to the mall since Daddy and Gidgi were both with us. I knew they both wanted to be there. Tink was excited. She picked out little pink flowers for her earrings. Then she got nervous. We had to talk her down, get her calmer, and we were able to get one ear pierced. After that she didn't want any more to do with it. No way was she getting another ear done. Since we couldn't back out now Jeremy and I had to hold her down while the entire mall heard her get her second ear pierced. It was HORRIBLE!

Notice this happy shot was taken moments after the second ear was pierced. It wasn't that it hurt...it was just the thought...the emotions. We said right then....we're getting Princess' done NOW! No more waiting...no more drama. Princess was great. She didn't know what was going on and the only time she cried was when we held her hands away from her ears. She wanted to feel what was going on.

This is her before the ears were pierced.

This is her right after. No real drama here. DH and I were both glad to have both of the girls done. No more piercings for this family. After an hour and a half in Claire's Man-Man is too scared to do anything that stupid!
