She's So Brave

Charlotte got her ears pierced!!!

When we were little we had to wait until we were eight to get our ears pierced (accountability thing I guess). Ashley got hers done when she was 7. But Charlotte has wanted to get her ears pierced for so long. We have made several attempts only to head home afraid of the pain. But on Wednesday Charlotte was ready to go for it, dressed in a fairy princess costume with wings and all. Since then we have been doing the routine cleaning (80 times a day) and turning them when we think of it (300 times a day). It's going to be a long 6 weeks until she can put in other earrings. And I won't let her wear hoops until she is at least 6 (joking - 16).Luke's been sharing in the excitement and very anxious to get his ears pierced too. Sam has only made the situation worse by donning earrings of his own (in holes that haven't been used for over 10 years). We've told Luke he has to wait until he is at least 3.
