On her birthday...

Mary-Ella had her ears pierced! Here she is getting ready. She was nervous but she has been wanting to get them pierced for so long now. I picked her up from school and she rode her brand new Barbie bike (pink city) complete with Barbie helmet - up to the shops where we had an appointment to get those little lobes forever changed.


She'd already selected earrings with pink stones (of course) so all that was needed was to mark the position and load the guns. Each of the ladies held a gun and they counted 3, 2, 1 and viola !! Job done. Mary-Ella had this blank look on her face and I thought she was going to cry but a few seconds later a huge smile came over her face - she couldn't believe she'd been so brave.
Believe it or not - this is the only pic I have with the earring in it - not a clear view but they are very pretty and it's not long now until she can try on someother earrings.
