Grace Talked Her Into It!

Great shot focused on the kids getting their haircut in the background.

It's the only one I got and barely looked through the viewfinder when I took it since it was nap time, we had been there for 45 minutes, and little E. was climbing in the foot spa tub trying to play with the bath salts!

Reesi, Elye, Grace, and I went to the mall yesterday to beat the heat by playing indoors. On the way Grace starting talking about Reesi getting her ears pierced. She convinced her it wouldn't hurt and she should do it today. Reesi agreed to think about it while we were at the mall. After playing and having lunch, Reesi decided that today was the day. I was actually in shock that Reesi would ever purposely put herself through pain. This is the girl the couldn't walk for several hours after her kindergarten shots. She's just not the toughest one of the bunch. So we home and got the camera headed to Divas and Dudes. We ended up having to wait 45 minutes to get her ears done! I was not very happy with the place for several reasons, but I won't go into that here. The lady who actually did them was super sweet and did a great job. Reesi didn't even seem nervous during that 45 minute wait. However, since there was only one lady who could do the piercing, that meant she had to do them one at a time. After the first one there were big tears and big cries. We tried to comfort her with a sucker, but she just said she wanted to get it over with. It broke my heart to watch her little body trembling waiting for the second piercing. But she finally did it and 3 minutes later was fine. She is so excited and is making sure she takes excellent care of them. My baby girl is growing up.
