Last February Miss Annabelle got her ears pieced. Fast forward one year and Gwyneth decided it was her turn. I was pretty shocked because she has always said she would wait until she was 102 (G logic | “I will get them pierced when I am 102 because I will probably die when I am 103 and I want to enjoy them for a year.” Well, of course). 

She got up her nerve today (well, kind of…) and us Meyer gals headed to Claire’s. She wanted Annabelle there to hold her hand and reassure her. I honestly don’t think she could have done it without her big sister.

Before Pics: Lovely lobes still in tact. 

Here we go!

She started off a little nervous…and squeezed the heck out of Annabelle’s hand. 

Then she lost it. She said she really wanted it done but she was so afraid it was going to hurt. 

I wouldn’t let her continue unless she was absolutely certain this was what she wanted. She assured me she wanted her ears pierced but she planned to cry the entire time. I felt terrible for her and wasn’t sure if this was the right thing to do. G is such a sensitive soul and I didn’t want this to be negative experience for her. 

She asked the tech if they could do both at the same time and they happily agreed. They told her they wouldn’t go until she said “ready”. They counted down 3, 2, 1….

and then I heard the sweetest little Gwyneth voice squeek “READY!”. 

And it was done! She did it!

I asked if it hurt and she said “Heck yes. It felt like they were putting staples through my head!” 

I went to check out and heard the girls having a lovely moment. 

Here’s a few things I heard:

Gwyneth: “I was always a little bit jealous that you had your ears pierced but I thought I would be too scared.”

Annabelle: “I’m so glad you did it. I’m proud of you.”

Gwyneth: “I never really liked my ears before, but now I LOVE them.”

Those girls!

Gwyneth threw on her shades and was ready to show off those earrings to the world. 

Ears pierced!

We had planned to go a movie tonight, but the girls wanted to stay home and organize their earrings!
