Her BIG Birthday Present

A few weeks before Paizlei's birthday,

one of her little friends from school went to school

and showed everyone that she got her ears pierced.

So, when Paizlei got home,

she told me, matter of fact, 

that she WAS getting her ears pierced.

Back up to when she just got released from the NICU.

Mommy REALLY wanted to get her ears pierced.

Daddy said, "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

For the longest time,

I kept asking him if we could get them pierced.

His answer was,

"Not until she can take care of them herself."

Fast forward to the day her little friend went to school

and showed off her pretty little earrings.

She was SO EXCITED to tell her Daddy

that she was getting her ears pierced for her birthday.

FINALLY!!!!

We got Daddy on board!

Paizlei (and Mommy) were over the moon with excitement!

Everyday, Paizlei would ask,

several times, "Is it my birthday?"

"I want my ears pierced!"

It was so cute!

I loved every minute of it.

The day finally came!

Paizlei's birthday!

December 17!

We took her to WalMart in Richfield.

She picked out pretty little pink & gold heart studs.

She was SO EXCITED!!!

She was telling the sales associates all about herself,

her baby brother,

her big brother,

what she wanted for Christmas.

Then, they asked her to sit down on the little chair.

The two gals put 2 little purple dots on her ears.

Then they told her to hold SUPER STILL!

One!

Two!

Three!

Ears pierced!

Not without a little bit of trouble,

but not from Paizlei.

One of the sales associates couldn't get her piercing gun to work.

Poor Paizlei got poked twice in one ear.f

CRY!!!

Did she ever cry!

Once the sting wore off,

she was completely over the moon with her pretty pink earrings!

She had to call her Grandmas!

Her Grandpas!

Anyone she could think of to call!

A couple weeks out and she is still showing off

her pretty pink earrings!

She has left them alone.

She doesn't play with them.

So proud of you Baby Girl!!!
