A Big Day for My Girls!

LOVE this picture because it shows exactly the levels of excitement the three girls had.

 Well, Saturday became a day to remember.  I took all my girls to the mall and we got their ears pierced!!  They did great and were beyond excited.  They had two piercers and so Kaia and Kienna got both ears done at the same time.

Kaia looked more excited, but was very focused on learning how to clean her ears properly.

Kienna's reaction was pretty much the same as Kaia's - it wasn't fun, but it wasn't horrid.  Within a minute - they were both beaming with excitement.

Saryn sporting her new earrings - and smiling!

Saryn wasn't so lucky.  She had one of the piercers go on break (a little ticked off about that) and decided not to wait, but to get them done one at a time.  She was a little nervous, so I was hesitant to have her do it, but she REALLY was determined.  She almost made it through without crying, but when the waterworks started, they wouldn't stop.  She was so sad that she had to do it again that it didn't help either.  Finally, she decided she was going to get the other one (she didn't want to look weird) and she took some deep breaths, told the lady to get it ready and then told her to do it NOW!  She only cried a little after that one.  The next couple days, however, she still cried every time we'd go to clean them or anything... and yesterday one of her earrings fell out and we lost it.  She didn't seem upset about it at all because she was okay with not having her ears pierced at this point.  So, she's back to square one.

Kaia and Kienna, however, are still in heaven and love to have their ears pierced.  I just have to remind them that they ONLY have to clean them 3 times a day, not all day long. 

Sigh, my kids are growing up....
