Brel's Ears Pierced

She's ready.... so she thinks! But nervous! Ummm, MOM? What are they doing? I'm not so sure anymore!

And I'm BEAUTIFUL! Love 'em! SEE?!?!

I took Brel to get her ears pierced on Thursday since she'll be 3 on Tuesday. All week long she had been prepping herself.... telling me she was going to say "OW" then cry then sing "Happy Birthday to me!" Well, she was partially right. As the anticipation began to build leading up to it she started to get nervous. She brought her baby blanket but left it in the car. As you can see from the pics she wasn't quite sure but was still excited. She jumped when they went in but then started to cry a cry I've never heard before. After making me and the girls who did it feel SUPER guilty she was mad at us and played it up. By doing this she was able to get 5 suckers and go to Gramma Sue's and get M&M's and more suckers.

Let's see.... who is the real sucker??? All in all - she loves them and of course brags about them all the time. As for the "Happy Birthday" song, well, she's still singing it everytime she feels her ears! :)

You can't see the earrings real well by the pics but I'd like to add a sidenote that she is just like her mother.... she picked the most simple earrings available. Plain, gold balls. Go figure.
