Kaden...such a kid!

So today we had to go to the mall (where Sears is at) to get a new tire for me car. I swear something is not right with the front passenger side. Just after we got the car it needed a new front tire and now it needs one again. But the places have said it all looks fine, just bad alignment. Not sure why that one is always out of wack. So anyway while that is being done, we wander the mall. We walked by Clair's and I said oh, you boys could get your ears pierced. Salem immediately says NO WAY!!! But Kaden starts to ponder it and asks all sorts of questions about it. Before I know it he says he wants his ear pierced. Really? I wasn't 100% serious, but in no way am I against it. So Keith and I agree he can have it done, why not, it would fit his personality and no harm in having it done. So we head back to Claire's where his main concern is how much will it hurt. We talked to him beforehand about the pain (alot at first, but will get better with time) and about keeping it clean! He saw some guitar earrings and wanted to get those, lol, um no, never on those ones!


So up he went in the chair, they have a stuffed bear you can hug and boy did he! We had to wait a few minutes and I could see him getting kind of nervous, but he wanted to do this! No pressure from us, he was able to back down at any moment, but he was excited to get it done as well! It was over in no time and he didn't even cry! He did squeeze Keith's hand and the bear. I had my camera (always have it in my purse) and was taking pics. Kaden kept saying if he didn't cry than Salem would have to get his done...no we didn't uphold that thought! If Salem had wanted his, sure that's be fine, but no forcing it since he didn't want to.


Kaden played with his ear for the next hour walking the mall, but he said it didn't really hurt. And at home he said it was fine...until I cleaned it and had to twist it all. I was a little rough though so that was my fault. He really likes how it looks and can't wait to show it off at school. He wants to make sure mommy and daddy clean it, he says he isn't sure he'll do it just right, and that's fine. This way we know it is really getting cleaned and turned. Kinda like when they shower, if they clean themselves, we know it's mostly water being used, where as if we clean them, we know they are getting really cleaned!


So we'll see how this earring thing goes. Like I said he is super excited to have it done and was so brave, no tears nada! Plus he looks pretty cool with it!!!
