Marlee and Bridget get their ears pierced

Marlee and Bridget have talked about wanting to get their ears pierced for a while now.  Bridget felt it was too scary.  Marlee wasn’t scared but we were hesitant.  Recently, some beautiful “Hello Kitty” earrings were too much to resist.  Marlee convinced Bridget that if she could do it then certainly her older sister could.

They were both pretty brave about it.  I think it hurt a bit more than Marlee was expecting.

She cried for about 10 seconds and then turned to Bridget and said “You can do it!” holding her right thumb up in the air.

Bridget went next and certainly could not back out following Marlee’s  encouragement and display of bravery.  Bridget made it through without a tear.
