Saturday was a big day in the life of a four year old. Ally decided she wanted to get her ears pierced. This wasn't the first time we've had this conversation so I knew she had been thinking about getting it done. We talked about what would happen, that it would hurt and that we would have to take care of them everyday, no questions. Ultimately, it was her decision and one that I thought for sure she would back down from.
Throughout the day she kept asking when we were going, so that afternoon Ally, Emma and I drove to the mall. Ally was so determined to get her ears pierced and kept telling me that she wasn't scared of anything...still brave as ever, we got to the store and asked some questions, she hopped up on the seat as the lady got everything ready and then EMMA started crying and begging Ally not to go through with it, she was so scared that Ally was going to get hurt, so scared she had to hide inside the store until it was over. Ally did get a little nervous when she saw the ear guns and said I don't think I want to do this....but it was to late. She cried when they pierced them and I wondered if I had let her make the right decision but after about five minutes she was thrilled, excited and still gets up every morning to look at her earring. They are adorable. Emma has decided to wait until she is 27 to get hers done!
