Constance has been wanting to get her ears pierced for a long time. We have told her when she turns 8, then she could get her ears pierced if she wanted to.
You have to understand, Constance hates needles to the point of Mike has to go when she gets shots to help hold her still. I have been very open with her about how they do it ... I wanted to make sure she was ready.
She has been getting more excited as her birthday approaches (April). She keeps reminding me that we need to start buying earrings.
We just had spring break ... Mike and I were talking and decided it would be a good time to get them done. Constance was thrilled.
We went to a friend's store and she talked Constance through everything she was doing. The first ear went well. Constance pointed out that it hurt ... bless her heart. The second ear ... she was not looking forward too at all. She had a tight grip on Mike's hand and she was crying but she held so still. She did great!
It has been fun to watch her since. Before I couldn't get her to tuck her hair behind her ears ... now, you can't stop her. She likes how it looks with her ears pierced. It is fun to watch the change.
