Laina got her ears pierced after the Disney on Ice show! She was interested in getting them pierced because a few of her friends have theirs pierced. Joe and I talked about it both agreed it was ok. Well, maybe I had to convince Daddy a little but he came around! On Saturday I brought her up to the Mall area and since I wanted to get my 2nd holes pierced I told Laina she could watch me getting mine done and decide if she wanted to do hers. She was all for it and very very excited! That is until she saw the gun and watched me get mine done and then she just shook her head and said "I don't think I want to do that, Mommy!" I told her that was fine, there was no rush! She proclaimed that she would like to get hers pierced when she was 7. Well by the time we got home she had changed her mind and wanted to try again. I told her that we could try one more time on Sunday but that was it --- I wasn't going to keep driving up to the Mall area just to have her change her mind. She agreed. So after the Disney show on Sunday we headed over to the mall and sure enough she went through with it! She chose the Hello Kitty studs and she didn't cry at all.
I have very few memories of spending time with my mom when I was young but for some reason I completely remember getting my ears pierced. I was probably about 9 or 10 years old at the time. I hope Laina has happy memories of our outing. I think she looks like such a grown up girl now!
