Sweet and Sassy

Right before Christmas, my mom and I took Maddie to get her hair cut and ears pierced, per her request....well, the ear piercing at least! She's been asking me about wearing earrings lately, so I asked her if she wanted her ears pierced so she could, and she said she did, so off we went. I didn't bother to tell her it would hurt, otherwise, she'd never do it. That's the reason I went until I was 18 to get my own done. I didn't want her to be the same way...chicken!
We took her to Sweet and Sassy, one of the coolest places for a little girl to go! They have a runway that you can dress up and walk down, there's a little shop at the front with cute girlie things, and they do what a typical salon/spa provides. So, while we waited for the haircut, they painted her nails for free. So nice! I truly think this was her favorite part! Silly girl. She LOVES to have her nails done. Then, she got her hair cut, in a cute little wedge style. Then, off to the chair of doom...I mean chair for ear piercing. :) She sat very still while the young lady marked her ears with a dot. Maddie thought that was all it was to get her ears done. She smiled with pride, as you'll see in the pics below! I told her she was not done yet. She sat very still for the first one, then, wait....AAAHHHH!!!!! She screamed and jumped out of that chair and ran! I grabbed her quickly, sat her in my lap and held her still for the second one. No way was she getting out of there with just one ear pierced!!!!! She cried for a few seconds and then was fine. Now, she gladly shows everyone her new earrings! I was so proud of her. She's my big girl!
