Before...
After...
Chloe finally decided that she wanted to get her ears pierced. Now, mind you, I have kinda been suggesting this over the last year or so seeing if she would bite. You see, Chloe is DEATHLY afraid of needles, or the thought of needles. In fact, at her last Doctor visit, she gave us all quite a show while getting her shots. Well, she came to me and said that she was ready!
I put her off for a few weeks just to make sure that she was ready and then on Thursday afternoon, I picked her up from school, and said "We are going to get your ears pierced today!" I kinda thought that she would back out, but she was excited. So, we head to Libby Lu, headquarters of all things pink, purple and glittery! We walk inside and announce that we were there to get our ears pierced! Chloe hops on up into the chair and selects her earring of choice. (I don't remember earrings being so expensive for piercing) As we sit there and wait for the experts to line up the dots on her ears and load the earring gun. Nerves begin to take Chloe over.
Chloe's excitement has turned to fear as she is now gripping my hands and is closing her eyes VERY tightly. I asked her if she was okay, and she said, "I'm okay!" I even offered her an out again which she turned down. Here we go, the girls line up the guns on either side so that we can do them both at the same time, "one, two, PIERCE, three!"
Chloe opened her eyes, and proudly exclaimed that she had done it and it wasn't that bad. After she checked out her accomplishment in the mirror with a HUGE grin on her face, she begins to turn pale. She looked at me and said, "Mom, I'm not feeling so well." I knew it, she was gonna get sick, you know what they say about old habits.... Well, we made a quick trip to the bathroom, uneventful, but she felt much better. Being the mom I am I had a few chuckles on her behalf. She is done, and VERY proud and is looking forward to getting to try new earrings 6 weeks from now.
