Sparkles

Do you notice anything new? Anything sparkly, and pink? So last week we ask the girls if they both want to get their ears pierced. Why? Why not. Abbi wants to, but is deathly afraid of needles, and she knows that it will hurt, even if just for a second. Reese just does, and worries about the consequences later. So Abbi says she wants to get her ears pierced, so of coarse Reese jumps on board and away we go to the mall (knowing with 99% certainty that Abbi will freak herself out and NOT get her ears pierced). After much back and forth of who will be first Reese finally says, "Oh fine, I'll go" (her favorite thing to say right now). So she gets prepped, dots on ears, and then both ears are pierced at the same time... Then I realize Abbi should NOT have watched! After a few seconds Reese starts to cry. She said it hurt a little, but the sound of the piercing guns scared her. After about 10 seconds she all but forgot what had happened, but that moment was enough to convince Abbi that piercing her ears was not the right decision, and nothing would change her mind! The thing is we don't even care if she ever gets her ears pierced, so we decided that we will NEVER ask her again if she wants her ears pierced again, she can come to us. As for Reese, she has been great with her ears, and likes to tell people, " Look I got my ears apier".
