finally!

We had Everleigh’s ears pierced last Friday, and OMG – too freakin cute! I have wanted to get her ears pierced since we have known she was a she! Yes, I have been looking forward to it for that long! We tried to do it when she was 6 weeks old, but she was just too tiny, they didn’t feel her earring placement would be right, and then we tried at 3 months and again, her ears were just too tiny!

So we went back in on Friday and the piercing guy finally said yes! Whoo hoo – happy dance! E held her, because he has bigger hands to hold down little wiggly babies and then the piercer did his thing (we went to a Tattoo and Piercing shop) and it was all over in about 2 minutes. She was definitely unhappy at first, but as soon as they were done and she was back in my arms she was just fine – and we haven’t had any trouble with them! She doesn’t even notice them, which I am so thankful for. I cannot wait until they heal and I can start changing them out to match her outfits, lol… yes I am that mother – so what? ;P

It was a little entertaining to see cute small little Baby Goo right next to the big, bad-ass tattooed guy, and it was even more entertaining to watch him look a little sad and upset at having made her cry! I thought he might almost cry, lol. Yep, I am one mean momma for finding that amusing, but ph well – what can you do?

Oh another note – that night was not all rainbows and sunshine. For the first time ever we had to leave a restaurant because Sawyer was misbehaving soooooo badly. It was mortifying and we didn’t want to ruin dinner for everyone else around us. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later now that he is in the full-blown terrible 2’s phase, but it was still embarrassing! I am sure they were all glad to see us go,lol. I think it was another rite of passage for us as parents of a toddler, but I sincerely hope it’s a one time thing… probably not, but I am an eternal optimist!

Here is the Baby Goo when her new bling in her ears!
