Ears

My little girl is really growing up. Last weekend, Sarabeth, Jennifer, and Janet headed to the mall to get Sarabeth's ears pierced. She had been asking us for several weeks to get them pierced, and we explained how it was done, and that it would hurt. Really hurt. She persisted. As good parents do in a situation like this, we caved. After waiting in line for a few minutes, the "Ear Piercing Tech" marked her ears, then brought a helper over to do both ears at the same time. She had a sucker in her mouth, a teddy bear to hug, and both her mom and grandma there. Guess what? Not a tear. What a trooper.
