Ears Pierced 07/27

Ashlyn got her ears pierced today.  She was so very brave.  She held her breath, and then let out some tears, gave me a big hug then she was fine!  :-)  Now we have to keep them cleaned and turned.

What is it with this girl and the number 7?  She wanted to come into this world 07/07/07, then she was born 09/07/07, and now she got her ears pierced on 07/27/11.  I think 7 might just be her lucky number.

Here is a little info about what lead up to her getting her ears pierced:

Ashlyn and Luke have been talking about her doing it for a while.  He was so funny the other day.  She stopped picking her forehead, and we used to bribe her with "if you will stop picking your forehead we will get your ears pierced". 

Well the other day Luke looked at Ashlyn and said “SISTER, your forehead looks beautiful!!!!” - “You can get your ears pierced now”.  So they have been talking, and we had her by herself Tuesday Night, and I told Pat that would be something special we could do, well they closed at 5:00.  So Pat picked up Luke from Papa Boozer and I picked up Ashlyn yesterday and we met at Jewelry Warehouse. 

 She kept telling Mrs. Debbie all day yesterday that she was getting her ears pierced and going to show Luke.   No backing out, we did it!  I kept telling her she did not have to do it!  Pat said I was trying to talk her out of it.  I was just making sure that is what she wanted to do.  I was 4 when I got mine done, and she is close enough to 4!

After it we went to Yumilicious, and please if you go get the New York Cheese Cake. I got a tiny bit and everyone wanted mine!! It was Yumilicious, but the price was high $0.45 a oz. and they charge for toppings in the oz. weight.  You only get your 1st pair of earrings, once!!
