Ears pierced!

Yesterday (10/15/2010) Julia and I were in the Thousand Oaks mall just walking around. As we passed Claires (a jewelry store that pierces ears) Julia told me she wanted to get her ears pierced. I have been waiting for her to ask me before we did it. She has been asking these past few months, but when I go to take her, she gets up into the chair and then says, "Ummm, actually, lets do it tomorrow!". So then we leave. I thought yesterday was going to be no different. We told the lady she wanted them pierced, we got her into the chair, filled out the paperwork and all the while I kept waiting for her to tell me, "Umm, actually, lets do it tomorrow!", but she didn't! The lady cleaned her ears and marked them and then she pierced them one by one. After the first one, Julia's big smile dropped - but she didn't cry and she let the girl pierce the other one (I was afraid that once the first one was done, she wouldn't do the second). I actually think I was more nervous than Julia was! Once they were all done, Julia loved them and quickly forgot about the little bit of pain.
