Claire's

For any of you who have little girls, I am sure you are familiar with the store, Claire's. Hannah and Avery LOVE to go there and look at the jewelry, earrings, stuffed animals and other little trinkets. Both of them save their money to buy stuff at Claire's. It is fair to say that we frequent this store. For the last few months, everytime we are in Claire's I ask Avery if she wants to get her ears pierced. Hannah was 5 when she got hers done and we were planning on waiting till Avery was 5 too, but I knew she is a little more tenative about these kind of things so I started asking early. Each time I asked I would get some sort of reason/excuse why not. "not today mom, i need to blow my nose" or "maybe when i am 7 like Hannah" I want it to be her decision so I would just say OK and we would continue shopping.
Well, on Thursday morning, I was getting Hannah ready for school and she wanted me to change her earrings. AS I was changing them, I asked Avery again, if she wanted to get her ears pierced and this time she said YES!!! I was shocked, Hannahw as SOOOOO excited and we made a date for that afternoon after school to get it done. Well, because if staffing issues at Claire's we waited till Saturday.
She was all smiles while getting her ears cleaned and marked with the purple marker.

During the actual piercing she made a very pitiful face but within a few seconds she was all SMILES.

She loves her new earrings.
