Pierced!



Gabi spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa on Wednesday. They took her shopping and of course spoiled her as usual. When I picked her up she was excited to show me her new flip-flops, t-shirt, necklace and ring set. She also told me she saw some cute earrings. I told her she had to ask Daddy about piercing her ears and he said she could. I explained the process to Gabi. She normally does not do well with pain but she didn't care. She really wanted to get them pierced. So today we hit the mall to do a little shopping and she could not wait! Claire's was our first stop! She wanted the biggest "diamond" earrings they had but I suggested she go with something smaller that wouldn't get caught on her clothing so she picked out these. She sat in the chair and the girl explained to Gabi the process of the piercing, how to care for them, and how long to leave them in. They gave her a bear to hold, counted to 3 and pierced the first ear. She was so brave! I could tell by her eyes that it hurt but she did not flinch or cry. When they went to pierce the second ear she even counted with the girl! She could not wait to see them and every mirror we passed she had to admire her earrings! They quizzed her before she left on how long to leave them in and how many times a day to clean them and Gabi knew all the answers! She can't wait to show Grandma! Gabi was in desperate need of some summer shorts so I was relieved to finally find some cute shorts, reasonably priced at $7.99 on our shopping trip! So she is now set for summer!
