Getting the Ears Pierced

Brynn had her ears pierced today and it was one of her presents from her mommy and daddy for her birthday. She did such a good job. She was definitely on board, agreeing to get them pierced. We went to this cute little girl's boutique where they offer ear piercing, up-do's, manicures and pedi's for little girls, their friends, and even their moms. :) It was a cute little place. Anyway, she picked out her earrings right away, which was a little flower design with the colors of "diamond" and pink. Then, she sat in my lap and they marked her ears up with the marker and looked them over. Then, they brought out the guns and I had to hold her head straight b/c she kept moving. As soon as they brought the gun to her ears, I could feel her tensing up and holding her breath. Then they counted, "!, 2" and shot the guns into her ears. At first, she had no reaction. Then, a couple seconds later, she cried!!! I think she was a little shocked that it actually would hurt. haha But then after about 30-45 seconds of crying, the ladies offered her a sucker, and the tears disappeared. :) She claims her ears do not hurt and she has not messed with her earrings one bit. It's seems like she is feeling no pain right now. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. :) overall, it was a really fun but bittersweet experience...just another reminder that my baby girl is no longer a baby.
