Hannah has been asking for awhile now to have her ears pierced and so today was the day! We have always made it Hannah's decision to have her ears pierced and she has been a little (or alot) scared of the pain. For the last year she has become more girlie and has enjoyed the clip on ear rings, but she finally made the decision to have the "real" ear rings! Hannah woke up super excited this morning and couldn't wait to go to the mall and get those ears pierced! All morning singing and dancing around, she even dressed herself in a superstar wardrobe....knee boots on the outside of the jeans, a hoodie tee, a braid on one side of the head, necklase, and of course her nail polish and lip gloss! So when Maw-Maw called she was ready to go! And that is when the butterflies began...the singing stopped in the car, alittle spacey look in the eyes and acouple shades lighter in her face color. But she would not admit to any of these feelings at all, no way she was a big girl all the way! So after I signed my life away in paperwork the process began, oh and by the way, I do recommend Claire's for ear piercing! So once the markings were made, Hannah counted 1, 2, 3 and the two women popped at the sametime and it was done! Hannah made it, only going the slightest bit green! After a deep breathe, the smiles appeared on my little baby's beautiful face. And boy did the tears start pooring from me...I don't know what happened. I guess it hit me, my baby is no baby no more. I am the proudest Mom in the whole world, she showed such grace and bravery.
Then we had lunch at Chick-fil-A and shopped, Hannah got two more pair of ear rings (thanks Maw-Maw) and some lotions and hair bands! After all this shopping Hannah decided she had to have a Baskin Robin's ice cream (thanks again Maw-Maw)!After such a fun day, we ended with a nice family visit at home! This was a blessed day, I will always cherish!
