This brave little girl decided it was time to get her ears pierced yesterday. I really didn't think she'd go through with it. I made sure she knew it was ok to change her mind. I've heard the story a million times of how I got in that chair and chickened out 3 or so times before I finally went through with it. Nope. Not this one. She just needed a little peep talk from her mamma and she was good to go.
Here she is bracing herself...
When it was over she sat there like a deer in headlights for a moment. This is her "disbelief in the fact that her ears are now pierced" face. I don't think she thought the piercing process was already over with. I told her with tear-filled eyes that she had pierced ears. That bewildered face slowly melted into a super excited face.
After the piercing we perused the earring displays imagining all the possibilities in store for her cute little ears after 6 weeks of wearing her starter studs.
She immediately called her daddy and Ammie (Grandma was with us). Ammie was with her cousins and Evangeline couldn't wait for them to find out. She kept saying, "I can't believe I have pierced ears!"
She was so excited about the "Notice Anything New" sticker they gave her at the earring place that I was instructed to put it in a safe spot so she can wear it to school on Monday.
As we were getting ready for church this morning she said to me, "Mom, now I've done all the things big kids do...I've lost a tooth and got my ears pierced." Sniffle sniffle...
I also want to note that when they gave her the choice of earrings to use for her first pair she picked out little gold crosses. However, they were a little too big and the lady recommended smaller ones for her first pair. She went with the blue rhinestone daisies. Blue is currently her favorite color. Mom and I were touched by the fact that out of all the options her first choice were the gold crosses. She's precious.
