Ear Piercing!

Anya's birthday was on June 2nd and apparently she is going to milk this week for all it's worth! She informed me last night that she still has one more birthday coming up, and she'd like her ears pierced. She has been asking for this to be done for quite some time, but one of the "requirements" was to start using the potty, which she has done. So, last night I figured now was as good of a time as ever. After dinner we headed to Claire's.

I informed Duane that both ears would be completed regardless of her reactions. I said once one is in, that's pretty much it, so we might as well finish the job.

I was surprised at how well she sat in the chair as the woman got everything ready. I was half-way expecting her to state she was no longer interested, jump off the chair, and inform us she was ready to leave. None of that happened; she simply waited patiently.

The woman described how it would feel, she marked her ears, and away she went. The first one was done without even a sound out of her mouth. The second one was done and she did a little jump and that was that. We were all amazed that she barely flinched! I guess wrestling with Jack has made her immune to minor inconveniences!
