Cruel Parents Without Hearts!

Waiting to get my ears pierced.

Well, we did it. We had Emma's ear's pierced on Saturday. We took her to Claires at the mall. The store is located next to the Northwoods Cafe and, of course, the piercing station is at the enterance to the store. Sooooo, the whole Cafe could hear Emma screaming while we held her still. She hates being held onto. It's funny because that is the worse part for her when she gets shots. As soon as they are done and she can be "on the go" again, she's fine. Well, as you can see from the photos, I tried holding her (because Daddy was a little chicken), but she was to wiggly, so then Daddy held her while they pierced them. As you can see, it was just as hard on Daddy as it was on Emma. She cried for about 5 minutes afterwards and then acted like nothing ever happened. Steve only cried for a few minutes. The worst part of the whole thing is that an older woman walked past during the screaming and she said "Oh, I just wouldn't have the heart to do that to my child". I say, "Poooey on you" (because that is just the Christian thing to say).....she's just fine. She hasn't touched them at all and doesn't even mind when I turn them or clean them for her. And, she looks so darn cute. We're hoping that this is the only part of her body she will have pierced!!

Daddy is scared, too!!

Sleeping like a little angel...with pierced ears!!
