So today was a big day for C.J...she had her ears pierced! So now the process of becoming my little princess begins. With her ears now pierced, earrings must come to fill the holes. I will say the process was not as smooth as it could have been. Since Mommy, Daddy and the doctor are all perfectionists, the second hole became a project, but on the third attempt the hole was set perfectly. Now I know you make think we put the baby through unnecessary pain. Halfway through Mommy felt the same way and could not take anymore. However, this Daddy worked with the doctor to make sure his princess was as perfect as she could be. As the good doctor said, "This is a once in a lifetime moment, and it should be done correctly". Daddy agreed!
My girl C.J. took it well. I believe she only cried because she hates being on her back. Mommy contends that it was due to the clicking sound of the piercing gun. Whatever the cause, my girl took it like a trooper. I really am beginning to like her tough personality. It shows me she will be willing to persevere through what ever challenges come her way.
So the saving begins. When she turns sixteen I have to have a pair of diamond studs for her. As long as she is doing her best in school and staying out of trouble, it is my prayer that I will be able to adorn her with them. I am not trying to spoil her, I just want C.J. to be the Princess she was born to be.
Today on Tyra all they talked about was menstruation. That topic, along with the ears being pierced, just reminded me again that I have a little girl and I have a long, long, long road ahead. So you all always remember to pray and pray for me to continue developing patience and understanding. We all know that prayer changes things. I also have to throw this in tonight...prayer works on and fixes people and situations. C.J. and Daddy will be just fine.
