Brynna's Seventh Birthday - Ears Pierced

 There is something you should know about Brynna. She is my child who swore up and down that she was never, ever getting her ears pierced. So imagine my shock a few weeks ago when she came to me and said that she was ready to get them done and wanted to do it on her birthday. I told her my rule always was that her and her sisters could get them pierced whenever they were old enough to want it for themselves. So we planned on making it a birthday wish come true.

She was all ready to go and sat down in that chair, swallowed hard and said she didn't want to do it anymore. I told her she didn't have to, but was she sure about her choice. The lady who did the piercing was great and told Brynna she would show her everything she was going to do and if she still didn't want to do it, she didn't have to. So Brynna watched, decided to go ahead with it and then came the moment of truth...

 

 The child did not flinch, whimper, or even say "Ow!" she literally said "That didn't hurt at all!!"

 I was so proud of how great she did and she loved her new, pink flower earrings.

 Ivy is waiting to get hers done on her 8th Birthday, but we didn't want her feeling left out of the fun, so the girls picked her out some pink, butterfly clip-on earrings for her to wear too. They also picked out a Best Friends necklace to wear together and got matching dress-up make-up kits....You will see the blue eyeshadow aftermath later in the day. ;)

 Two cute girls!

 Crazies!

 Best Buddies!

 The ear piercing experience went so flawlessly that we decided we were up for more fun! So the girls and I decided to keep an eye out for matching BFF shirts. We lucked out finding some at The Children's Place that even had one of Brynna's favorites on them...monkeys! Then as we were getting ready to check out we saw some cute hats that were on sale and the girls were in love. They REALLY wanted matching hats too! I told Brynna that I am pretty much a mean mom 364 days of the year, so since it was her birthday she could do whatever she wanted! That was a very good answer for her. The girls were so sweet and must have each said thank you a dozen times a piece.

It made me so happy seeing them having fun and enjoying the one-on-one time with each other without siblings or other distractions getting in the way. It was all about them and it was so much fun! Next we jetted off to pick up Maryn from her party and we were off for more eating...
