Surprise Reward for Isabella

Ears pierced at 8 years old... Lucky girl!

Mike surprised Isabella by taking her into Claire's at the mall and asking the question "do you have time to pierce my daughter's ears?" Isabella freaked out, Mom did too, but we did tell her if she brought up her citizenship grades that would be the reward.... (not that I really meant it). I kept saying when you are in 5th grade, that is when I got them pierced at 10 years old. Boy we really do turn into our mother's don't we?? She is old enough to take care of them so I am actually okay with it, and lots of her friends have thier ears pierced too, just no dangling one's or big hoops.

She picked out her birth stone and we upgraded the earrings so they were 14 ct gold (grandma Oursler has alot of allergies to jewelry and Mike wanted to make sure Isabella didn't have the same issue). I told her it was going to hurt...bad (I'm so mean), we all said stand back just incase the blood squirts out, even the girl doing it joined in. Isabella was sooo nervous, which doesn't happen to her that often. It was over in a second, and she was so excited. She couldn't wait to call Aunt Cami and then go show Lizzie. Kelly and Penny were there to watch as well.

So far she is doing a great job at twisting them and putting on the solution. She can't wait for 6 weeks so she change earrings.
