Bedazzled

Yesterday Oli got her ears pierced and I think it was harder on Shawntel than it was Oli. We went in an hour before our appointment and they lubed her lobes up with a numbing cream. I'm sure Oli thought it was weird to pop in to the pediatrician's and not get a shot, weighed, or probed. So we had an hour to kill before Oli's big piercing appointment so we did some clothes shopping. When we walked into the Dr's office they started in with the taking off clothes, weighing and poking. Then we went back to one of the rooms and they broke out the "Ear Piercing Kit". We knew that because it said so in big letters right on the side of the box. It's a good thing Oli can't read yet and it sucks that Shawntel can because her eyes got big and it looked like the she got hit with the hippy hippy shakes. They put a dot on each one of her ears and opened the two piercing tools. Oli had no idea and the nurse snuck in and hit her with the first one. We expected her to start whaling but she didn't even realize that she had been bedazzled. The nurse swapped tools and grabbed Oli's head and hit her with the second. Her left ear must not have been as numb as the right because her bottom lip poked way out but she didn't cry. They look so good, now maybe the weird guy at the grocery store will figure out that Oli is a she and not a he.
