New Shiny Stuff

Jules decided today she wanted her ears pierced. She was looking at pink "diamonds" at Kohl's and wanted them when she gets big. I told her if her ears were pierced, she could have them for her birthday (which is June 14th). Jules: Ok, I want to go get my ears pierced. Me: let's go (i run through kohls trying to find the shortest checkout line before she changes her mind; we've gone through this twice already.) Are you sure? Jules: Yep. We pull into the parking lot at Icing and she is smiling ear to ear. "Is this the earring store?" She walks in like she owns the place and jumps right into the big stool they have sitting behind the counter. Little Man of course is telling her the entire way to the store, "it's gonna hurt. You're gonna cry." He decides he doesn't want to hear the wails coming from his baby sister and sits at the front of the store with his fingers poked in his ears. The little blond who is about Jules size goes over what they are going to do and how to clean the ears as I sign my baby's life away just to get two additional holes put in her hear. Then another lady helps to pierce both ears at the same time. Jules jumps, but never cries. The first thing out of Little Man's mouth, "I'm so proud of you Jules, give me some knuckles."
