Caroline and I made a big event our of getting Layla and Clare’s ears pierced. We took the girls to Bellevue to a place that does “simultaneous piercing”, meaning they do both ears at the same time. Then we went out to dinner, stayed the night at a hotel, watched movies and did a bubble bath, then went shopping at Bellevue Square the next day.

From this picture, it looks like Clare didn’t enjoy the ear piercing. What you can’t tell, and what we didn’t know at the time, is that Clare had an ear infection and that her eardrum was going to rupture an hour or so later! After that she felt much better, but poor girl!

Shopping for snacks! (See how much better Clare looks now?!)
