Avery McGee Brave Chickee!!

On a total whim I decided to go get Avery's ears pierced. I wanted to do it when she was a baby but never got around to it. I figured with her turning two really soon that she was ready. Plus these past few days she has been playing with my earrings and trying to put them in her ears so I took that as a sign. We went to the mall to Claire's and got it done. She was such a sweet girl. I had her sit on my lap and tried to get her to sit still. We kept telling her that when she was done she could have a sucker. Two girls got the gun ready and did both ears at the same time. When they pierced her ears Avery jumped and gasped. I was just waiting for the screaming and crying to follow. And then... nothing!!! She just reached over and said "sucker!" I was amazed! She was not phased at all. What a brave little girl. She looks so cute and I love them!

Getting ready

I look way more scared than she does!!

Gettin' the sucker

Aahh... all better!

Look how pretty my earrings are!
Jace wanted me to take this picture of him and his McDonald's Batman toy and post it on here. I think he was feeling a little left out!

Why does it not surprise me, that little Avery was motivated by candy? Too funny! I just started laughing when I read that after getting her ears pierced, she said, "sucker." That little girl deserves 2 suckers for not crying, if you ask me! Give her a pack of gum while you're at it! Love her new little earrings!
And tell Jace I think his batman toy and his faux hawk, are pretty freakin sweet!

Cute!! It's not that bad huh? Everyone always looks at me like I am a terrible mother when they see that I have my girls ears pierced, especially when the are babies and they say "Did she scream and cry?" Like I would torture them!! They never really cry...So I don't feel bad. She looks so cute! I love hearing from you! Isn't it crazy how fast kids grow up...
