And Before She was 6....

This past Saturday, Tatum asked me, for the 4 time this month, to get her ears pierced. We just happened to be going to the mall that evening, so we talked about it the whole way there! She was excited! I always said that she would have to be 6 before she got them done, but since she has asked me so much lately, and the fact that she does start Kindergarten this Fall, and still can't grow her hair long....I figured now was as good of time as any!! We went to Claire's to get it done. It was so funny, the lady did the first ear, "Ouch" was all Tatum said, the second ear right after, another "Ouch"pause.....Boo hoo......She cried for about a minute! She was happy though once she got over the stun. Once we got home and it was time for bed, she started freaking out, wanting to take them out! She was afraid it was going to hurt when she slept on her pillow! After 30 minutes of convincing her she would be fine, she went to sleep. She told me the next day that she wanted to keep her new earrings in! She loves them! She still doesn't like it when we have to doctor them with the cleaning stuff, but we make her anyway. She just keeps thinking it's going to hurt!! Needless to say, she looks so grown up now, becoming a little girl and not my baby!!!
