You look even cuter

We finally got your ears pierced today. You look even cuter wearing your white gold ball earrings. We took you to Claire’s at Alderwood Mall (for the 3rd time, since the previous 2 times they sent us away saying you were not old enough or you needed your vaccination history with you) and the lady there marked your ears with purple ink, made us sign a bunch of papers saying we authorized them to pierce your ears and then your daddy held you on his lap while she used the machine to quickly pierce your ears. You cried very loudly and was out of breath for a minute on my arms, but when daddy came back after paying for the piercing you were already fine and smiling again. We walked out and you were just looking around, the piercing episode and earrings already forgotten. The store gave us a cleaning solution that we have to use 3 times a day to wipe your ears clean, and in 6 weeks we can change the earrings to the ones your aunt Helena sent from Brazil.
