So when Ava was born, my mom wanted to take her to go get her ears pierced. Aaron was not having it. He did not want Ava to have her ears pierced. The thought was FAR............ and I mean far from his mind. Mainly because I think how he was raised. His sister's where practically teenagers before they had there ears pierced and his Mom, she was married when she had her ears pierced. I understood. I was completely fine with it. I thought my daughter was beautiful with or without them. I was a baby when my mom had my ears pierced and she also let me get my ears pierced 3 more times before I turned 15 years old. Aaron's descion was when our kids were old enough to ask...maybe like 12 ...13...they can get them done. So he said. Well, ffwd 5 years later and she is asking. She has asked about it for the last month. It took about a month for Aaron to decided yes or no. Well, I decided ;) we would go on a day he was off and my mother was off also, so we could all go together. It was quite a milestone for us....It was nice and it will be nice for Ava to look back on this day. To prepare her I showed her some youtube video's of other little girls her age who had gotten their ear's pierced. I showed her the good, the bad and the....no there was no ugly of the video watching, of the whole situation because I wanted her to be mentally prepared. After I showed her the video's she still wanted to get it done. She did amazing. She froze in the moment it happened but quickly bounced out the chair and literally started dancing in the middle of the mall. LOL. It was a day to remember for sure.
We arrive!!
Ava is looking at ALL the options.
Daddy giving Ava a Pep talk. He is telling her she is not allowed to touch, play or pull on her ears because they could become infected.
She quickly agrees.
Expressions change- in the chair.
