Her Rite of Passge.

Bella asked us about a year ago
if she could get her ears pierced.
Both Brett and I didn't really
have a strong opinion either way.
So we told her that she could
do it whenever she was ready.
After hearing they used a needle,
Bella decided she didn't want them that
bad and never really asked again.
Well, since starting 2nd grade
she has asked quite a bit more.
I think most of the girls in her
class have their ears pieced.
So again we told her she could whenever
she thought she could handle the pain.
So, Thursday night she talked herself into it.
I told her Friday after school seal the deal.

Here is a video of her telling her dad
the plan...

Her face during.


I accidentally pressed stop when I was recording.
I think I was too worried that Bella
was actually going to squeeze my other hand off.

And after...
