I have wanted Rachel to get her ears pierced since she was about 5. She refused and I was not going to force her. She was scared because she thought it would hurt. It didn't matter what I said she just knew it would really hurt and it wasn't worth the pain to her. I told her I'd take her if ever she wanted to. She said she would never want to so I gave up.
Well, Jessica (Rachel's cousin) came to stay with us for a week and I guess Jessica talked to Rachel about it because the next thing I knew Rachel wanted to get her ears pierced. So, Rachel went with her cousins last weekend and got her ears pierced! She was nervous but Jessica, Jane and Grace all held her hand. It was so cute. She is so excited to have her ears pierced. After so much anticipation and anxiety I think it was a real let down for her...it didn't hurt like she thought it would. She told me she wishes she would have done it before because it only hurt a little. She told me to say "Rachel loves her ears pierced!"
