A Big Day for Lily

Lily loves to wear jewelry. She has a bunch of necklaces that she wears (sometimes all at the same time...
So today Ashley and I took her to the mall to get her ear's pierced! She was excited and kept saying earrings, ear's pierced. When we got into the store I handed her the earrings so she could help pick one and there was a pair of super cute little "bling" flowers. The lady came over and I filled out all the paperwork and then got Lily out of the stroller and sat in the chair. She was a little unsure of what was going on and kept pointing to the stroller and saying no stroller! When the lady went to wipe off Lily's ear, Lily jerked her head away and said "that hurts!" I didn't think it was going to work out but the lady was able to get Lily's ears wiped and marked. She had another worker come over so they could do both ears at the same time. I had Ash standing in front of Lily making faces but I had to wrap one arm around her arms to hold her hands down and then I had to but my hand on her forehead to hold her head back. I think I was more scared then Lily was (according to Ash the look on my face was freaked out and Lily's was confused)! Both the women said okay I've got it and one stared to count to 3 but at two Lily shrugged her shoulders so I had to hold her tighter. The whole time I was thinking what the heck am I don't to my poor girl! The women got it all lined up and pierced her ears- of course Lily cried and hurried to turn in my arms to be cuddled. We all told her good job and then I stood up and asked her if she wanted to pick out a new necklace- and I kid you not she instantly stopped crying and said yes. I let her pick out a necklece (a totally blast from the past neon 80's one) and then we walked to the register. She told me Mom earrings hurt. She was such a little trooper and looks so stinkin' cute with her earrings! She kept pointed them out to me all afternoon- and had to hurry and show them to Daddy when he walked in the door- but she made sure to tell him that it hurts. She's super cute about it.
