My little girl
Michelle is 16 years old today. It is so hard to believe that much time has gone by, so quickly. We had a big surprise party for her birthday last year, so this year we made it a little more intimate. Just a Mom and Michelle day. She has been talking about getting her belly button pierced for months. She had pierced her own nose about 6 months ago, so I thought, why not. The two of us went to the tattoo shop in Portland. It was pretty funny, because as soon as we pulled into the parking lot and she saw two or three big tattooed men standing outside she was like, "Mom, I can't go in there!" I said, "Who do you think is going to pierce your belly button? It's a tattoo place!" Anyway she got out of the car and we went in. We told them what she wanted, they did it and we were done. It took all of one minute. She said it didn't hurt at all. We went out to dinner and then to buy an ear piercing gun, so she could pierce a couple more holes in her ears. I don't know what this is all about, but I guess if she changes her mind, she can just take them out. So, when we got home, she was pretty excited to get started!! First, she wanted me to do it. I said, "No Way." So, guess who got roped in to do it? Yep, Davey!(as only Michelle is allowed to call him)!! He pierced the first hole in the upper left ear. Then there was a little controversy about the next one. She wanted him to pierce a spot on her ear, that he wasn't too comfortable with. He was afraid to hurt her. So, she just ended up doing it herself. No fear that girl! So, now she has 3 new holes in her body. Here are a couple of pictures, of her new ear piercings. One of her and David discussing the situation. Then one of her doing it herself in the mirror. She wouldn't let me take a picture of them piercing her belly button, but I did get one after the fact. I just didn't put it on the blog. (She is my little girl.) She had a happy birthday, all is well. I guess my baby isn't a baby anymore!
