Piercing Cry

Madelyn decided in the middle of the week that she was finally ready to get her ears pierced. When I went to get her at Grandma Cindy's on Friday, I asked her if she wanted to go that night. She agreed and I told her afterwards that we would go to Walmart and get her some stuff we needed to go to the beach. We got to Claire's and picked out her birthstone earrings, a blue sapphire. Very Pretty! The lady that did it was very sweet. She was the only one there, so they weren't able to pierce both ears at once, but I told her I thought Madelyn would do fine. I had warned her before that it was going to hurt, but that is wasn't any worse than getting a shot at the doctor. And she has always handled that well......she'll cry a tiny bit, but at least I don't have to chase her around the doctor's office and hold her down. That's basically how the ear piercing went. She did cry (as expected and warranted), but I think she was a real trooper. We have to leave them in for 8 weeks and then she can try new ones. We went back to the store yesterday and got her 9 more pairs. She's very proud of them and wants to show them off to everyone. The first is the video of her getting them and the second is a picture about 15 minutes after she got them.
