Brynlee got her ears pierced!!

Over President's Day weekend (on Saturday) we took little B to get her ears pierced. Shawn has been bugging me to do it for months now but I just couldn't do it. I have been going back-and-forth on whether to do it now, or wait till she is older because there are good points for both. Shawn somehow got Ryland on his side and they both started pressuring.... needless to say, they did what they set out to do. We took her to Claire's in the Boise Towne Square Mall. She happily sat on my lap in the "piercing chair" - completely unaware of what was about to happen. Thankfully, they were able to have a person on each side so both ears could be done at the same time. After they marked her ears, I gently held her head as they counted down and snapped the piercing gun. Brynlee sat completely still (I am sure she was wondering what the heck was going on), and had a delayed reaction to the pain. It took her at least a full second to realize that it had hurt, at which point she started to cry and grabbed one of her ears. I quickly scooped her up in my arms and walked out of the store with her saying "Yeah!!!!! what a good girl! You're so pretty!" By the time Shawn paid and came out of the store, she had completely forgotten that anything had happened! Hilarious! She is sooooooo cute with her little earrings.
