Ears Pierced!

Larissa finally decided she was ready to pierce her ears last week!!!  Hannah and Kirstine both wanted their ears pierced around their third birthday but Larissa wanted no part of it.  Last week we were at the mall and Dad spotted a Claire's and asked Larissa if she wanted to get her ears pierced yet, as normal she said no.  Dad told her he would buy her an ice cream if she pierced her ears and she immediately agreed to the deal.  In the past when Dad has tried to bribe her she would never give in so apparently she was ready this time.

I told Brent this was his thing so he and Larissa marched into Claire's.  Larissa picked out her earrings and hopped up in the chair on Dad's lap and sat still.  The girl pierced her first ear and nothing from Larissa, no movement, no tears, no noise.  The girl pierced her second ear and I heard a little "ow" and that was it. 

Here she is just seconds after her ears were pierced still sitting on Dad's lap.  All she had was one little tear roll down her face.  She never said another word about her ears, she only asked Dad when she could go get her ice cream.

A week later she still likes her earrings and lets me put her hair up so everyone can see her new pierced ears.
