Our little girl is growing up. We went out to the NorthShore Mall this afternoon and ended up at a store called Icing. Mia picked out the earrings she wanted, some pink cz studs, she sat confidently in the chair and prepared herself. All morning or rather, all week she had been talking about this event to everyone we ran into. A friend at gymnastics this morning told her it was no big deal and it didn't hurt at all. Angelina was a little more truthful when she told Mia that it actually did hurt, just not that bad. When all was said and done she was super proud of her new pierced ears and her fancy pink earrings. Angelina was a really good friend and stood by her side holding her hand the whole time. At one point Angelina said that all Mia's nervousness was making her stomach hurt too.
Just after the piercing. You can see how proud both girls are of Mia.
Right before the piercing, Mia was starting to really get nervous.
Ahhh, ignorant bliss. Just as she sat down before the reality sunk in that she was about to have permanent holes stapled into her head.
Warning: This video may cause anyone who loves Mia dearly to have mild discomfort as they watch this sweet little baby try so hard to be brave and get her ears pierced. I will add that her father and I had no part in talking her into doing this. It was completely her idea and I told her repeatedly up until even after the first ear was done that she absolutely did not have to do this.

I will just say that this video made me cry. It is so sad to see "our" (since she was the first grandbaby I think we all feel very connected to her) baby cry! And even crazier is that she is old enough to be crying in pain but so happy. . .she is awesome and I wish I was there to hug her. PS-Gaga said she got a call from Mia. . .I waited by the phone:) ha ha. Anyway, I love you Mia and you look beautiful!
Okay, now I don't know how Vickie fared when she saw this, but I cried. Mostly because she was so brave and was willing to hurt - and then to see her dealing with the reality that it really was painful. But, if it made both Aunt Hillary and me cry, I would suspect that it made our other grandmother cry as well :( For those of you who don't know I NEVER pierced my ears.
ps- I love Mia's outfit!
