Abbey has been interested in getting her ears pierced for the past six months. It's not that I was ever against it, I had mine pierced for the first time at five yrs old. It's just that I did not feel she was ready for the responsibility of letting me clean them. I was also afraid of how she would react to the pain.
I advised Abbey that she was going to have to prove that she was a big girl, doing her jobs without being told, letting me comb her hair without crying, and most important getting a good report card. Abbey has been doing her best at being a big girl, and "making a difference" as she calls it. To her surprise, there was a pair of earrings wrapped up for her on Christmas morning. She squealed with delight, and wanted to go out that moment to get her ears pierced.
She had to wait until the Monday after Christmas to get it done. It was a long weekend for her. The big question was, how would she react to the procedure? I have two words "ROCK STAR!" She didn't as much as flinch while her ears were being pierced. I just got a big reassuring grin when it was completed.
