Today we went to the mall because I wanted to look for Easter dresses at a couple of stores and Nathan wanted to look at Dick's Sporting Goods for a shotgun (which he's never going to get) and a gun cabinet.
Since Dick's had shopping carts Nathan kept the 3 youngest with him and I took Hailey to Penneys. On our way we passed Claire's. Hailey asked me what the store was called and I told her it was the store that pierces ears. She turned to me and said, "Could I get mine pierced?" I about fell over. For years we've (really I've) been trying to get her to pierce her ears but she wouldn't budge. I almost took her right then before she could change her mind. Instead, we went to Penneys and she tried on about 20 dresses. I even let her try on one of the "wedding" gowns (although there is no way I was going to buy it for her). Out of the 20 dresses one had sleeves. ONE! It is ridiculous. Out of the 20 dresses she liked one and I liked another, but neither of us liked either dress enough to compromise. So...no dress.
Anyway, after meeting back up with the rest of the family I told Nathan that she wanted her ears pierced. He okayed it and off we went.
Hailey chose rose crystal daisies as her earring then hopped in the seat. She did great. She flinched when the actual piercing took place, but she didn't cry. She has 6 weeks of 3x-a-day cleanings and then she can change her earrings. She can't wait.
(I bribed her to go to one more store with me by saying I'd let her look at all the earrings. She was amazed at Kohl's selection. I've never heard her say "Oh my gosh!" so many times. Apparently, Kohl's has EVERYTHING she could ever imagine when it comes to earrings.)
Looks good!
