You have been wanting to get her ears pierced for quite some time. You watch Sydney change out her earrings regularly and desire to do the same. I've been stalling to get it done because....well just go to a dr. visit w/ me and you'll know why. Even when we're at the dr. for Levi and not you, you cry FOR Levi when he gets his shot. But this past Saturday we headed to the mall to get your ears pierced, knowing you would cry and perhaps cause a scene. Unfortunately for you there was only 1 person certified to pierce ears so she couldn't pierce both ears at the same time. I told you it would hurt a little bit and you still wanted to go through w/ it. Here are the pictures:
1. before: putting dots on ears.
2. Here we go.....
3. This was a bad idea. OUCH.
4. 1 min. later--got my sucker. It's all good.
5. See, I got my ears pierced. I look so pretty.
You did great-- a lot better than I ever expected. Not like how you react to a shot. You didn't cause a scene; rather, you took it like a woman. When we were leaving the mall, you told everyone we passed by, "look I got my ears pierced." Most people were talking to each other or on their cell phones so no one even heard you, but I did, and it was adorable.Yesterday you wanted to bear your testimony. You've done it hundreds of times at home with no problem. You went up to the podium by yourself; you froze, and came down, cried a bit, and then I went with you. I sat down on the chair while you were a few steps in front of me at the mic. You froze, so I tried to help you i.e. whisper in your ear. You barely whispered what I said in the mic. I took over and bore my testimony. At this point I noticed Levi was now with us, dad was out of town. You kept pulling the mic to you, wanting to bear your testimony. I tried to help you again. You didn't talk or when you did it was so quiet no one could hear. I told you to say "Amen" and you refused. Finally I just had to hold you, and Levi, off the stage and leave the chapel. Fun times at church! You were mad at me that I didn't let you finish and you couldn't understand that I tried to help you speak, but you were very shy. On a positive note, after you went up there 4 or 5 kids followed you and so you were very brave and were a good example.
Jordyn: "where's grandpa?"
me: "I don't know."
You: "I bet he's at the dump. He's always at the dump."
