Our Big Girl Has Earrings!!

 

This morning Ashlyn asked if she could get earrings. I called Tony and he was all for it so we got ready to go to the shops to get them done. When we got there one of the ladies had just left for lunch and the other was going straight after the first one got back… so we had to go and find something to do for 2 hours…

Finally we could go back and Ashlyn picked her earrings. Some pretty gold stars with pink stones in them. She sat on the chair so proudly, eager to get her pretty ears… then the ladies put the guns against her ears and clunked at the same time. Ashlyn let out a little giggle and then was all tears. I felt so bad for her because all she could say was “But they hurt mummy”. She cried and cuddled me for a little while, and we went down to the shops to buy her something to cheer her up. (probably more to make me feel better for letting her do something I knew would hurt)

Now, only 3 hours later she says that they don’t even hurt, not even a little bit. She is very proud of her earrings and I am very proud of our Big Girl. She knew it would hurt (didn’t know how much though) and she still sat there so still.
