Pierced!

Avery has been asking to get her ears pierced. She was also struggling to fall asleep in her own room so we made a deal that if she fell asleep on her own for 14 nights she could get her ears pierced. She kept up her end of the bargain and asked for a countdown every morning and night.

We went on Friday to get them pierced. My holes had closed up, too so I also did mine. I went first since Avery wanted to watch. She did awesome when it was her turn - We had such a sweet guy doing the piercing who explained everything to her. That night she had a Rachael-esque freak out about infection - totally lost it. I was putting Tay to bed so Hung was able to calm her down using tactics he has used on me in the past. She still claims the right one hurts her but I think they are actually feeling pretty good. She is excited to go to school today and show her friends.
