About 6 months ago Britain asked me if she could get her ears pierced. Kalixta was right behind her in wanting her’s pierced too. I don’t have an age at which I let the kids do things. I think each child is a little different but I don’t want them doing something simply because everyone else is! So I told the girls if they still wanted to on their birthday we would talk about it! The closer it got to their birthday the more Britain talked about how she was getting her ears pierced! Kalixta was pretty quiet and didn’t ask! On their birthday I told Britain I would take her to get her ears pierced and she was thrilled! I talked to Kalixta and told her the pros and cons and told her she needed to make that decision for herself!
Finally two Saturdays ago we made it to the mall! Kalixta decided she did want her ears pierced and off we went!! Adam kept all the kids and I set off to the mall with Kalixta, Britain, Zoe and Kylie! Driving away I ask who was going first. Kalixta’s hand shot up saying she was and Britain pointed at Kalixta saying she was. I laughed and asked if the had talked about that before and they said no! They were just on the same wave!
Here they are before with their naked little ear lobes!
The mall was so busy! I am not a mall goer so I was a little shocked by how many people were there! We had to wait a long time and by a long time I mean 30 minutes or more once the girls picked their earrings! Kalixta did go first even though she was very nervous by the time they got to us! She didn’t’ cry at all! Her face looked shocked when it happened and after it looked like she wanted to but she didn’t !!
Britain hid her face while Kalixta got her ear pierced. She climbed up into the chair as soon as Kalixta got out of it! She was brave and held my hand while her ears were pierced with no tears!
Kalixta picked cute little pick stars!
Britain picked pretty round diamond like ones!
