It was definitely an impromptu decision. There is an out-door shopping mall near our house with a jewelry store along with a bunch of other shops. Every time we went by the store, I'd ask Jill if she wanted to get her ears pierced, and every time she said no, because I'd explained in detail what to expect and she was afraid of the hurt. So I'd say okay, and we'd continue on our way, figuring when she was ready, she'd let me know.
Yesterday we were out shopping and again I asked her as we passed if she wanted to do it. This time she surprised me by saying yes (which is why, unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me). So we went into the store, me completely expecting her to bag out at the last minute (and being okay with that), but she picked out her earrings (her birthstone), sat in the chair while I signed all the paper work (Matt was being extremely helpful by telling her how much it was going to hurt) and told the lady that she was ready. That is, until the first earring went in. Then, screaming in pain and terror, she hid her other ear on my shoulder and sobbingly begged not to do the other ear. After much cajoling and bribery (and I hate to admit, a little bit of trickery and lying), we managed to do the other ear.
She was absolutely fine 5 minutes later, and picked out a bunch of prizes from the store, including a princess diary, a heart shaped key chain and a pink "diamond" heart necklace.
Now she proudly shows them off and tells everyone that she "was very brave" and "it only hurt a tiny bit."

Good for her! I was in the store for 2 hours with Payton when she got her ears pierced. She didn't want to leave, and she was too scared to let them do it. I will say that the lady who pierced Pay's ears was super fast. Both were done in about 10 seconds! Jillian is going to LOVE them:)
