Emily has had many milestones since she was born. Crawling, walking, first day of school, first dentist appt., and so on. But tonight she seemed so grown up as she sat in the chair at Claires and got her ears pierced. We weren't planning on it but we've talked to her in the past and she's wanted to but not enough to go through with it. But tonight she went for it full force. She even got to watch another six year old little girl go right before her, and she was really brave so that helped.
We picked out her earrings and in true Emily fashion it took her all of two seconds. She isn't one to deliberate for very long. She picked out her birthstone and that was that. I even pointed out some cute flowers but to no avail. She then got up in the chair with cautious excitement and was fine, until the first ear. Then she started crying, not hysterical but crying. She didn't want to do the next ear but then actually handled it very well. We let her get an Ariel hair piece for being so brave, which she knew about ahead of time, so she bounced out of the chair with little thought to her aching ears.
I of course didn't have my camera because I was downloading the scavenger hunt photos so my dad graciously used his camera phone...thanks dad!
Her earrings look really nice! I can't wait to buy some really cute ones in 6-7 weeks. Although Emily has declared she'll never take these ones off! Oh, and Ally really wants hers done now. Not sure we'll be able to hold her off, she wants to do everything her sister does!

She looks so sweet in them (although her rolling tears about killed me). And, if you enlarge the pictures and they look purple around the earrings, don't worry, it's just dye from the pen the lady used to mark her ears. :) Love you Em! (I mean Ariel!)
Oh she looks so cute! A combination of brave and beautiful! Aunt Leslie
So brave. Now Kara will want her's done even more! Em looks so pretty!
Congratulations Emily! They look great! You know, if you call them before you go and ask them if there is someone else there so that they can do both ears at the same time. That's what Bekah did. =) it makes it a little easier.
Opps! I hate it when I do that. Last comment was from ME!
Avery has been asking questions about getting her ears pierced. I will have to show her this blog and see what she thinks. I don't know...
I did not show Tessa this blog on purpose so that Em could show her herself and I could see Tessas honest reaction. She couldn't care one spit. Not that she wasn't happy for Em but no facial expression whatsoever, just kinda like she was dazed and in disbelief. After Em showed Tessa this morning I showed her this blog for more reaction. Still nothin' really couldn't care one spit. She was only concerned about why Em was crying and she was ok now. Guess, I dont have to worry about it for right now. I thought I would. Personally, I am kinda bummed, part of me wants to do it and has for some time and the other part of me says let her wait. Anwyay, I think Em looks so sweet even if Tessa has zero reaction to it.
