Pierced Ears!

I had always told the girls that they could get their ears pierced when they were 8. Well, when Adilyn turned 8, she didn't seem too excited or too ready for that, so I didn't remind her. She recently decided she was ready, so I told her we could do it after the New Year. She had heard that you could get it done and the doctor's office, and that they would use some numbing cream so it wouldn't hurt so much. I told her there was no way I was doing that! If you are getting your ears pierced, you are doing it the old-fashioned way. We decided to go to Sweet and Sassy because they do both ears at one time. Kacy was really upset about not being able to do it, which I totally understand. I bribed her with a treat, and I told her that she could get hers done at 7. Of course, Adilyn freaked out, and I said, "You better believe that Brooke will probably have hers done at 6." :) Part of being the oldest that sucks. Ha! Ha! She made it through the piercing really well, but she whined and complained about the cleaning and twisting them. We are finally over all the whining, for the most part, and she loves them!
