Emma Gets Earrings

Today was the big day. Emma had her appointment at the pediatrician's office to get her ears pierced. We didn't have an option of type of earring though. She just got the plain 14 kt gold round stud earrings. Maybe by Christmas, we can try a new one.

"I'm so excited to get my ears pierced."

"Are those gold earrings the only ones you have? Don't you have pretty pink ones?

"I'm ready. Here...do this side first."

"Be gentle with my ears. Those rubbing alcohol pads are stinky and cold."

"Okay...make sure you mark my ears evenly. I don't want one earring up and the other down."

"Excuse me, Ms. Nurse. The ballpoint pen that you're using to mark my ears isn't working and it's just hurting me. Don't you have a marker? My Daddy loves Sharpies."

"Okay...that first one hurt."

"Are we done yet?"

"I think Grandma was more nervous than I was. Can I have some Tylenol now to ease the pain?" (Click on the picture)

"Yeah, that medicine is good stuff. Can you see my earring?"
