About 3 months ago we were in the car driving to Lubbock and on a whim I decided to go ahead and let the girls get their ear's pierced. I didn't really think that they would do it (because they are deathly afraid of shots) but their desire out-weighed the fear and they did it.
School came to an end and the long awaited day arrived when they could change their ear rings. The girls were so excited to finally wear "Dangle" ear rings. One problem, Rebecca's ears seemed to not be healing as quickly as Sara's were. We decided to have both girls wait another two weeks and so they did (without to much complaint).
So now the girls are able to wear any ear rings they would like, but Becca's ears still seemed to be having problems. So yesterday at dance, Rebecca's ear ring popped inside her earlobe. Don't ask me how it happened, but it took about 3 hours to figure out that the entire ear ring was in the hole in her ear instead of just a portion. After lots of tears and the final retraction of the ear ring, Rebecca has decided that she will NEVER wear ear rings again. So hey, if you don't want your kids to pierce their ears, let them do it. They may end up deciding it isn't really worth it.

What!? That's a crazy story. Poor thing!
Alanna just got hers done. She has about 2 more weeks until she can change them out. So far she loves having them, I have never heard of an earring doing that! Poor girl!
Jasmine wants her ears pierced really bad, but we are trying to put it off until she turns eight. I couldn't pierce my ears until I was sixteen.
That's crazy. I've never heard of that happening before. I hope she isn't traumatized for life, but she may be.
After that story, I (Donovan) am going to follow Rebecca's example. No more earrings for me. I am taking them out right now. Chad, are you with me??
