Our Big Girl Ashlyn


We just got home from the mall and we were there to get Ashlyn's ears pierced. She has been asking me for over a year now if she can get her ears pierced. I have been waiting for Kenna to be ready so they could have it done at the same time ... but I am not sure that day will ever come. Their friend Bella got her ears pierced for her birthday in January and she told Kenna that it hurt A LOT. Kenna has decided that she does not even need to get her ears pierced. Since she is going to be a "Rock Star - she just needs to get her lip pierced" Over my dead body!!
So I picked the girls up early from day care today. We went and got Kenna's hair cut and then it was off to Claire's for the big moment. Kenna kept trying to talk Ashlyn out of it telling her how much it was going to hurt. I was honest with her and told her it would probably sting like a shot for a minute - but it will pass. She decided to do it anyway. She picked out which earings she wanted (pink flowers). She was not nervous at all - she even had a crowd start to gather around to watch. I was smart and called the store in advance to make sure there would be 2 people there so they could do both sides at the same time. She was so good - she didn't even cry until they were done. At that point she didn't even want to look at them. 5 minutes passed and she was ready to look. She is very excited to be a big girl and can't wait for the 2 months to pass until she gets to go pick out a new pair to put on!

Good for her! Kenzie had hers done when she was 3, she wanted to have them done for her first day of preschool. I just promised her ice cream afterwards, so it was pretty easy.
