Saiah and the Piercing Pagoda

Saiah has been waiting for a long time to get her ears pierced and the day finally came for her last week. She was able to use some of her Christmas money to choose the earrings and finally get her ears pierced. She was an incredibly brave girl. I was told by a couple of friends to call ahead and see if they would have two people available that can pierce BOTH ears at the same time. Sounded brilliant, except for the fact that it was a spur of the moment, end of a 4 hour shopping spree with Grammy and the Piercing Pagoda only had one lady available to pierce. One ear at a time it would be. Saiah was confident she could do it after asking twice, "so, it will only feel like a pinch?". She was GREAT. Way better than I would be. Sat there as still as could be and didn't even jump when her ear was pierced.

"You okay honey?"I asked.

"Yes" in a quiet voice

"Did it hurt" - I just wanted to hug her, but stood back

Shakes head

"You ready for the other one Scoot?"

"Yes" said in a confident voice.

Same thing with the second ear. Wow. Impressive.



Saiah's pretty earrings that she picked out.
