Earrings!




Elena has been asking me for about a year now to have her ears pierced. I have been putting it off, thinking she would soon lose interest. She did not. I vaguely remember when, at 14, I had mine pierced. It hurt like the dickens! I wore the starter set for the allotted 6 weeks until, finally, I could change them! Gold hoops! I thought I was so glamorous! Until I lost one of the hoops at school....by the time I got home, the hole had closed. I never wore earrings again.............until....................last Saturday! I took Elena to get her ears pierced, and to show her what it would be like, I had mine done, too! It didn't hurt very much-the device they use now is much more sophisticated than when I was young! Phew! Elena didn't cry one bit! So, one week and counting....where are those gold hoops?...

I deleted my earlier comment because when I looked back on it, it was a jumbled mess of words... I was tired when I wrote it, and it showed! Anywho- I LOVE the earrings. And I love that you and Elena do such neat things together. You are a good (and cool) mom!
