On a whim, we were talking about getting our ears pierced at lunch today and I asked Sullivan if she wanted to get her ears pierced. She answered quickly and certainly with a yes. I asked Quinn the same question, although with a completely opposite response. With a couple hours to think about her younger sister being able to wear earrings and she not able to, Quinn changed her mind.
We headed to the mall with two proud and excited little girls. Neither of them claimed to be nervous, although their sweaty palms may have indicated differently. :)
Sullivan and Quinn had a conversation about who would go first, and wouldn't you know, Sullivan was the lucky one. She hopped up in the chair...
Getting ready for the piercing....
Afterward....
There were no tears!!! Getting her ears pierced was way to easy. It certainly couldn't be that easy for both of them...could it?!
Quinn hopped up in the chair next and prepared herself for her turn.
Getting ready....
Afterward....
Again, no tears. And quite the trooper. One of Quinn's earrings didn't go in the first time, so she actually had to have that ear done separately. Bummer. But Quinn took it in stride and was incredibly brave!
So now we have two girls that are extremely excited to be wearing earrings. Quinn has already calculated out how long she has to wear these earrings before she can take them out and change them - just before St. Patrick's Day. She already scoured the St. Patty's Day earrings in preparation for the big day.
We are extremely proud of our little ones. The ladies that pierced the girls' ears said that they were among some of the bravest girls for their ages. In fact, braver than most of the boys that they have come through there!
