Tiny Ear Lobes

In the tradition that goes way back, Carmen was initiated into the club. The pierced ears club that is. I had anticipated to take her when she was about 6 months, but as of now she is always moving and wiggling around so I'm glad we took her. The difficult part was putting those little dots on her ears. With Ruben distracting her in the background, I sat in the chair and held her and felt awful about what was to come. So finally the dots are on and even, here comes the punchy thingy. I hold her head and I hear "punch." Then "waaaaaaa!" Oh crap. There is still one more to go. For a second there I thought we would leave with only one ear pierced! So in goes the second punch which was helped by the aide of her bottle. As soon as it was done Ruben paid and I took her out to soothe her, which by that time her crocodile tears had subsided. Welcome to to the world of dangly's, studs, and hoops, Carmen J. It's so much fun to be a girl!
