Mia

So I finally did it. Two Saturdays ago we took Mia to the mall and had her ears pierced. I don't know why it took me so much longer with her(Lexi was 2 months old). I think it is because she started out so much smaller. Or maybe it is the fact that it is not fun to take six kids to the mall. Yeah, that's probably it!!! But I talked Kev into going with me which is not easy to do if you know how greatly he HATES shopping or anywhere where shopping can be done. His only requirement was that he did not have to go in and see it done. So the chicken stayed out while I had to hold Mia. No one can understand how he can give horses shots all day long but cant watch an ear getting pierced. He said it has nothing to do with the shot but the fact that he doesn't want his little girl thinking he is the one doing it. I told him he should try taking her for her shots sometime and see how he likes that. Its no wonder why us moms loose our children to their daddies!! They always get to be the nice guys. Anyway, She did really good. She cried for second after the first but as soon as they gave her a sucker she stopped. Then on the second she cried again but it was more like she was mad at us for doing it again as if she hadn't made herself clear the first time. Then again it was back to the sucker and dad with open sympathetic arms and all was good again. I think the hardest part for her was after when Mason kept taking her sucker. So we solved that and got him his own. She has not even noticed them since and I think she looks so cute.
