My Bootiful earrins!

A couple of weeks ago, Ava started asking to "wear earrins like you, momma!" Dan and I explained everything to her and she still wanted to get her ears pierced. So, i then found a you tube video of a little girl having it done so she could see what it was really like. Still not changing her mind. Knowing Ava, i was sure she would never go through with it. On Friday I had to run to the mall to get a few things so I told her would could stop by Claire's. So we get there....there are 2 girls getting ready to have their ears pierced. I thought, "This is the nail in the coffin. She will see/hear them cry and we will be out the door." Nope, they finished and it was her turn. She crawled up into the chair and asked the lady, "Do you have any pink earrins?" She quickly choose the pink flower pair. She sat in the chair while they cleaned her ears and marked them...still no freaking out or tears. Unbelievable! They put the piercing guns to her ears. She sat so still. She wasn't even holding my hand or anything! She cried a few crocodile tears when they actually pierced them, but they passed very quickly when she got to see her 'bootiful earrins!' I was seriously in shock! I couldn't believe she did it. Now she loves to show everyone we see her new earrings.
