EARS & PIZZA...yeah, thats right!

 Alex's biggest part of the day was getting her ears pierced for her birthday. She has been back and forth about getting it done since Brooklyn pierced her ears almost 3 years ago. She was very loud and animated all day...I think mostly because she was so nervous about what was going to happen.

We got to the mall and now it was time to pick out the earrings of choice...

THEN....the panic attack set in.

And the tears

And a lot of 'I don't want my ears pierced!'

Luckily an almost 16 year old came in to get her ears pierced for the 2nd time.

She didn't flinch...so that helped Alex decide she was brave enough to go through with it...

IF she could sit on my lap!

 the first one...

 And, the second one...

NO, even though it looks like it, her ear was not getting cut off of her head!

 The trauma didn't last long...

sticker for getting her ears pierced and a lollipop made it all better!

WHAT'S NEXT?

Pizza!

Then....on to the next stop!
