Big Moment!

According to Katie, last Sunday was the biggest moment of her life...at least up until age 6. As Nana and Papaw left on Sunday with Bree, Mom gave Katie some money to spend. Katie asked if we could go to the mall to her favorite store, Claire's. We headed up to the mall and when we went into Claire. Katie looked at me and said can I get my ears pierced. I was in surprised because Katie hates anything that would cause pain, but awhile back she asked how old she needed to be to get them pierced. I told her that once she turned 6 she could do it, but only if she was ready. I told her I didn't want her to do it unless she was ready. She asked me then if it hurt and I said yes it will hurt for a little bit but then it is over. She never mentioned anything more about it...until last Sunday.

She kind of caught me off guard and I asked her if she was sure and she said yes. I told her we needed to ask Daddy...well daddy wasn't as sure about it as she was but it didn't take much convincing for daddy to say okay. 

Here is she is all ready to go...she has a big smile but man she was nervous.



Daddy holding her hand as they were getting everything ready. I think Chris was more nervous than her.

The lady here was so good about keeping her calm. She could tell Katie was really nervous, so she kept asking her all sorts of questions to keep her mind off the pain that was about to happen.

 

They did them both at the same time....that was the only way I would let her do it. She did great though...a few tears shed and a little panic over the fact that she thought there was going to be lots of blood. :) After I assured her that there was no blood she calmed down and was checking out her new bling

One happy girl....now that it is over
