She Did It

Addison has been asking to get her ears pierced for quite some time. We finally agreed, and she spent last week doing some thing to earn stickers, and we told her when she had 10 stickers she could get her ears pierced.

On Saturday we headed to Lollilocks, a sweet little girl's salon here. She was a little nervous and knew that it would hurt for a minute, but she was brave. She took her Sleeping Beauty doll to watch.

First she picked out her earrings, pink of course. Then they sat her in the chair to clean and mark her ears. She looked so nervous and anxious, but she never complained. They marked her ears and pierced them at the same time. She didn't shed a single tear. She looked stunned for a few seconds, then they held the mirror up for her and she got really smiley!

Before we started, I told her she could pick a small prize for being brave when we got finished. She picked a small pink ring, but then we found out the jewelry was buy one get one free. So, she also picked a necklace and bracelet set. Then, the store gave her a certificate, a balloon, and a giant-fancy lollipop. She left with quite a haul!

We thought about getting Reagan's pierced as well. But, I want it to be a special day for her, someday when she chooses to get it done. Also, I don't think there is any way they could keep her still enough, and she would probably have yanked them out before the end of the day yesterday. For now, she was quite content with the sucker they gave her!
