Braelyn

got her ears pierced.

It was quite the event.

We went to Mesa and while I was out working Jeremy called to say

that Braelyn was ready to get her ears pierced.

I had heard this before but she usually would change her mind.

This time she was ready so we wen o the mall into Merle Norman.

There was another little girl there also getting her ears pierced.

I guess she wasn't really little, she was probably 8 or 9 years old.

When they were prepping the other little girl to get her ears pierced

 Jeremy quickly took Braelyn out into the mall.

Which was good because

when the girl got her ears pierced she yelped and began to cry.

Then I started to get nervous for Braelyn.

Jeremy brought Braelyn back into the store and

Braelyn looked over at the other little girl crying.

She looked a tiny bit uneasy.

Then they got her up on the stool and

 I held her hands and talked about all the cool earrings she could wear.

Then before she knew it she had pierced ears.

More than anything it startled her.

Then she couldn't believe it and Jeremy took her to the mirror.

She was so happy.

Then she says

Mom, I didn't even scream

 and I didn't even

hold my breath.

I'm so glad it is over and of course I didn't bring my camera.

So I didn't capture the moment darnit.

Now she has been wearing her hair back so everyone can see her

beautiful diamond earrings.
