Bravery

Avery has been toying with the idea of getting her ears pierced for a while now, but has never actually been brave enough to do it...until today!  I'm not sure what changed. This is the girl who freaked out when getting the flu mist!  She is the one who cries a lot whenever the least possible thing hurts on her and likes to be pretty dramatic about it.  But today she decided she was going to get it done and she did!

Don't get me wrong, there was some screaming involved. But she held on to me and even let the guy do the second ear which is pretty important to the whole process!  I was very proud of her.  It only took a few seconds after it was over for her to calm down and be very excited about her new Hello Kitty earrings as well as the endless possibilities with which to decorate her ears in 8 weeks.

 It looks pretty cute, I think!
