We have the rule at our house that you need to be eight years old to get your ears pierced. Hannah was and is not interested at all in getting hers done. Ashley on the other hand has really been asking since her birthday.....a year ago...... when she turned eight. There just seems to have always been something that's gotten in the way. For instance....soccer.
Seems Ashley will not be playing in any soccer games for the next six weeks due to the broken arm, there will not be any need for her to remove earrings. So, Wednesday, June 18, 2014, was the day! We went to Claire's in the Mall and "got 'er done!"
As soon as we walked into Claire's, I thought we were good to go. Ashley quickly walked over to the ear piercing station and began picking some out. However, as the time grew closer, I really thought she was going to back out. You could see the fear coming in her eyes.
After talking Ashley through it and the girl that was doing the piercing said, "If you can survive the broken arm, you can survive this. No problem." I told her that it was a whole lot easier than having two IVs in her arm at the ER. I also informed her that this was the perfect time to have it done seems there would be no soccer to worry about.
The girl was really cute. She said, "We'll just get you all ready but I won't open the earrings until the very end just in case you decide you don't want to do it." She seems okay while the ink dots were being applied but still not too sure.
.
She decided to go ahead with it but as you can see by the look on her face....she's scared to death!
Ear #2 not quite as scary as the first
All done....still a little scared....but she did it!!
The experience is over and now she's happy to have them and to send a quick text to Dad.
