i know its long but you wont regret it!

hazzzooo
she was such a little doll face getting her ears pierced

hardly even phased about it!
it's done for her...
D. O. N. E.
done!

charlotte's turn

lottie bear really wasn't sure about this stranger touching her but she obliged!

then she started screaming
bam, it was done.
 so i thought.

this should have been the end of the whole piercing ordeal but true to charlotte form nothing is that easy!

that night (thursday) after we put her to bed she pulled out her right earring. 

3am she wakes up and i discovered the earring was gone. tried to stick another one in to keep it from closing. 

NO SUCH LUCK!

the next morning i find the sharp piercing earring and try again... not a chance! 

don't forget she is still screaming... every time i even look like i might just look at her ear she starts screaming.

Monday we went back to claire's.

 it was a total freak thing that she could pull out the earring.

right?!

 have you ever tried to pull out a pirecing earring? its hard!

the lady asks me before we got started, "so what are you going to do to prevent her from pulling it out again".

 i kinda laugh and say... "well since she did it while she was in bed, i don't know just pray that she doesn't do it" again?!? haha jokes on her!

don't kid yourself... part of my laughter was nerves/embarrassment because the second we walked back into claire's charlotte knew what was up and the screaming, crying began!

i wish everyone could have seen me trying to hold my clawing, screaming dragon child.

i literally was a circus act!

i manged to hold her legs in between my thighs, her arms i held down with one of my arms and her head i held with my other hand.

i basically was a human straight jacket!

i was dying!

the worst part of it was the audience we had!

thank you claire's for putting your ear piercing station right by the window so rest of the mall can judge you and look at you like you are the scum of the earth for the abuse you are putting your child through.

really people?

 you really think i want or like to see my child in complete terror. 

i had no other choice... she only had one ear pierced!

 it was done. we had both ears pierced again.... so we thought!

she made it almost exactly 2 day with 2 ears pierced. 

last night my nightmares came true... she came toddling in the family room with only 

one earing in

i looked at sam and said... please, you have to help me! 

just hold her down and i'll put it back in.

ha ha ha no such luck again!

 my baby's body heal with super human powers. the earing had only been out for like an hour and that's all it took. 

no more earrings for miss lottie lou till she 23!

 

 what i love about this whole thing is that just like her arrival into this world, her sleep training, eating.... she is persistent and determined to do it her way!

my kind of girl!
