Brynn's BIRTHDAY Present

Wow! I can't believe that our little princess is 5 already! Time sure does race by us, doesn't it?! For the past year or so Brynn has been asking to have her ears pierced. Steve told her that she could have them done on her 5th birthday. The day/night before her birthday (which was yesterday 10/22) all she could talk about was getting her ears pierced. She asked Steve if she should take a bath before she went so that she would be all clean. She couldn't go to sleep, until after midnight. All she could do was SMILE!!! If you said anything about her birthday or her ears a HUGE smile would creep up her face. It was soooo funny. I can't believe that she was so excited! So yesterday, her birthday, she was up bright and early. "When are we going to get my ears pierced?" she kept asking. Finally, after her SHOWER, we go ready to go. We took some pics of her ears before the big event! See, virgin ears! Such a cutie! We jumped in the car and headed to Wal-Mart. When we got there we showed her all the pretty earring and let her choose which ones she wanted. She choose the pretty pink flowers with clear centers. We told the clerk and she pulled them out. The clerk told us that we should do both ears at once so it would be faster. Less traumatic. But the other girl would be back in 45 minutes. We said ok and then went looking around the store. When were are walking around she decided that she wanted to wait til she was 6, then 51 and then settled on 8. We told her that she had to do it today because they were already waiting for her. When we returned they were waiting. She wanted to sit on my lap. They cleaned her ears and she giggled. They marked them and she smiled. When they pulled out the piercing guns, she FREAKED! So, needless to say, I had to hold her down while they did each ear separate. But finally through all the squirming and screaming, IT WAS DONE! And she was FINE! She is really glad that she got them done. She says they are still a little sore but she has been great about turning them and having me put the solution on them. She keeps looking at them in the mirror. She looks BEAUTIFUL! Maybe she will get new earrings for Christmas.
