The Ears have it...

Mia has wanted to get her ears piereced off and on for the last few months. She'll decide she's ready then maybe not so much. Well, one day before Christmas we went to see Alvin, the Squeakwel and after the movie I said, "Mia, do you want to get your ears pierced today?"


She said "YES!"


So we headed upstairs to Merle Norman......quickly.....before she changed her mind, (emphasis on QUICKLY)





She picked out a cute pair of CZ star studs and was all smiles and giggles. She loves the attention and everyone was focused on her.

And then.....Ear one.... and Oh my goodness Ear Two

I'm quite certain the picture above will show up in an edition of National Geographic under the heading...."Coming of age Rituals performed while parents physcially restrain them"

But we just couldn't go around with one earring. Sometimes they do both ears at once but there was only one lady working that day.

The tears were short lived. It was after Christmas and the clerk had brought in some holiday cookies and snacks and they were sitting on the counter. She asked me if she wanted a cookie and once she began eating it she forgot her ears hurt.

And it wasn't long until she was in show off mode. In fact she made me fix her hair in pony tails for a week so that Everyone could see her new earrings.
