Tomorrow is our Xmas picture, so at the last minute we found a babysitter (Our friend Chris) and took Lauren to WalMart to have her ears pierced. Both of her sisters had it done promptly at two months, so we were a bit late with the newest addition.
Unfortunately, our 3 south side stores were unable to do it (one wanted immunization records!) so we wound up all the way at the Capitol Drive location, clear across Milwaukee.
We picked out a pair of heat-shaped diamond (like) earrings and away we went. Here are the last photos of a non-pierced Lauren:
And then the event began:
She looks happy, no?
But all that lasted about as long as it took to hit the shutter. It helped that they did both the ears simultaneously.
Her crying ended the minute a bottle found its way into her mouth. The ladies gave her a 'Certificate of Bravery' (which was darn cute!) and we thanked them and returned home.
Here's a side shot of the new bling-bling:
She is so very sweet,

YIPES! Ouch! I didn't get mine until I was 16 I think by a doctor! They were rites of passage as we got older. Kinda like the no lipstick or makeup until later.
ReplyDeleteWe got my daughter's ears pierced when she was an infant to. She really didn't even cry at all. She didn't fuss when I was holding her head, she was just curious and wanted to look at the piercing guns. Heh. She did make a little noise right after the earrings went in, but it was so quiet, I think only I knew it was her crying. Everybody else in the store was "she didn't cry at all." And I'm like, she never really cries, but when she does that is what it sounds like. Right after she made that quiet wail, they put this cleaning solution on her ears and she immediately calmed down and was happy again. She even smiled at the clerks who pierced her ears by the time we left the store. It was so cute! And they were so gentle. I've been recommending that store to anyone who wants to pierce their babies ears.
