just a little click

eryn is a little princess. she is very girlie. and enjoys most "girlie" activities. painting nails, makeup, jewelry, doing hair, dressing up... so on and so on... (hahahaha... so not me, it's so funny). so we thought it would be cool for eryn to get her ears pierced. she has asked when she was going to be able to wear earrings like brittany... so, it was a good 8th birthday and baptism gift... oh. no. she's growing up!!!

anyhow we went to the mall... eryn was good until she looked up at me and said "mommy, i need to go to the bathroom". we all kinda laughed and realized that she was probably a little nervous. so britt took her to the restroom while rachel and i filled out paperwork...

before she climbed up into the official ear piercing chair, she had us all feel her heart that was jumping out of her chest. she then took position and a couple tears fell. the employee cleaned the lobe and brought the marking pen up to eryn's ear and she pulled away. so we started walking her through the process. britt explained to her that it was going to make her ears feel hot. rachel kept telling her that it doesn't hurt. it's just a little click in your ear. she had herself all worked up. it didn't help that little brothers were concerned about her and trying to hold her legs and her hands. the girl had to do one ear at a time because they only had one girl on duty. i went over to her side and held her hand... they did the right ear first and i think she was kind of shocked that it didn't hurt. then she sat good for the left ear. it was done.

she admitted that we were all right with our descriptions of how it doesn't hurt, how it's hot, and it's a little click in her ear and that she would be okay.

britt then told us that eryn explained that her fear was that she was going to move when they were about to pierce her ear and she would have a hole in her ear where one didn't belong... she's funny.

so she has beautiful little earrings. i have attached the video that she sent to my mom showing off her ears...
