Ears pierced

Little Floppy told us today she wanted to get her ears pierced. She has been saying this since before she turned three, but we definitely wanted to wait until she was at least 3 to keep in synch with how old Madison was.

She was insistent today that she wanted her ears pierced so that she could wear earrings like Maddie. I sat her down and explained the procedure, but she insisted she would be "brave in a cave." Haha. Dan was very much against the idea, but we went to the mall to see if she still wanted to do it.

She watched a teenager get her ears pierced, and she still wanted to do it. I remember Maddie watching two other girls get theirs done before them, and I know they both definitely wanted to do it since they both still insisted upon it even after watching the procedure. Faith picked these pretty little blue flowers (Maddie had the same ones, only pink-- they always joke that they are Merryweather and Flora because Faith has always loved blue, and Maddie has always loved pink, pink, and more pink. Now they say that Abrie will be Fauna and love green! We'll have to see).

She sat on my lap and was so good. I thought I was going to have a heart attack with how long they took, which gave me more time to dwell upon the pain my poor Flop was going to feel. She screeched, but literally stopped the second they asked her if she wanted a lollipop. I couldn't believe how little she cried! She was a true little trooper. Maddie was sobbing instead saying "I want to protect my sissssssssssttttter!" They are too funny.

So, now we have a new little girl in the house with earrings. And, she looks so darn pretty!
