"Holey" Ears!

Grace finally got her ears pierced around the end of December. She wanted them done during the summer, but when DJ told her that it hurt, she chickened out. Then, the waffling back and forth started, until she fell in love with an adorably tacky pair of ice cream cone earrings and that clinched the deal...pierced we would be!

Mom and Dad went with us to Claire's in the mall on the big day. Grace was nervous, and began whining as soon as she got in the chair. As the woman cleaned her ears and drew the dot on, she began to flinch and cry. As they lined up on either side for the actual piercing, she was sobbing. And when they punched the little piercing gun through, well, let's just say I'm surprised you didn't hear her scream at your house.

After her ears were properly pierced and we left the store, she got a yummy orange milkshake and all was well. She was all smiles and anxious to show off her new earrings!

Her first big step to being a GIRL!
