Isabelle's Ear Piercing

Well Isabelle has finally accomplished getting her ears pierced. I guess she was a little jealous of her cousins getting their ears pierced in the past few months and decided that Wednesday was the day. It didnt help that, as Isabelle stated: "All the girls in Camp Rock have their ears pierced so why can't I get mine done." So Daddy not willing to crush her dreams of being "like the cool kids" relented and it was too the mall where we met Mom to scope out the different earing shops.

Who would have known to get a small piece of metal inserted in an ear with a fake diamond daisy would cost $33.00? I love how they rope you in by advertising "Free Ear Piercing," when they should say "We take arms or legs to make your daughter look like the cool kids in Camp Rock!" Being that Isabelle's cousin Hannah heard the news that their was a piercing party at Claire's she came down to get hers done as well. The only problem was that their weren't two people working so if the girls wanted to get their ears pierced they would have to endure having them done one at a time.

Isabelle was first because it was her idea, and as you will see in the video and the pictures to follow, she was quite nervous. Well the girl marked her ears and then started on the right side, and it didn't go through!! The problem with it not going through was that Isabelle now had time to think that "Man, that really hurt, and I have to do it again on the same ear." So the right ear was done, the left ear went flawlessly (But Isabelle definitely gripped down a little harder on that one and closed her eyes). She let out a big sigh of relief but didn't cry..........until.......Mom decided to tell her that "Its ok if you cry" and the waterworks began!

All in all, I enjoyed the experience. It provided some great laughs and despite the fortune it took to make my little girl like "All the cool kids" I am glad she got it done. The cost of looking pretty only gets worse from here!!
