We got Jackie's ears pierced!!!!!
Since it was the second Tuesday after the summer solstice and…just
kidding…Jackie was just plain ready! Dave and I felt that she was responsible enough
to handle the maintenance of earrings. And since we got a few (dozen) hand me
down earrings from our neighbor, Elise, she was really interested.After doing my due diligence, which consisted of watching YouTube videos of various girls getting their ears pierced and asking my Facebook friends where to go, (everyone agreed Claire’s at the mall was the only acceptable ear-piercing pagoda) we were out the door at 9:55am.
Jackie’s excitement quickly turned to anxiety once we
reached our destination. Luckily, there was another girl getting her ears
pierced, so Jackie could see it live and ask her a few bazillion questions. And she was thrilled to pick out her studs!
Thankfully, Lucy Lu was as patient as she has ever been- but
then again, she was surrounded by God-awful tiara’s that blinded us with
sparkle and dangly, jingly earrings. (Who is their clientele, anyway?!)
After 15 minutes of preparation, ear marking, hygiene tutorial, the lady asked Jackie if she was ready. And Jackie replied....No!... So we left Claire's and took a walk around the mall. Jackie got up the courage to go through with it and there were no tears! WOOHOO!
Check out my pretty babies! The big one has her birthstones in her ears! REAL EARRINGS!
