Last week, my beautiful princess had quite a day. On Saturday, we got up, headed out to one or local annual festivals and she performed her favorite solo dance to “Let It Go”. We enjoyed some time with her dance friends at the festival, then ran off to a fun girls day at the opening of a new jewelry store in Riverside, Don Roberto Jewelers.
The friendly staff of Don Roberto Jewelers invited us out to celebrate the edition of a new location now open in Riverside with quite a party. Live entertainment, delicious food from The Surfer Taco and drawings to win mini iPads and more, it was a family fun event.
My princess certainly has the “BUG”! She was on the hunt for that perfect sparkly piece of jewelry either for herself or mom, and Don Roberto Jewelers has quite the selection. They offered individual pieces, sets and more in all different price ranges.
And while browsing through the store, we discovered a sign that said FREE EAR PIERCING. We had been discussing this for quite a while. I’ve wanted to get her ears pierced since she was a baby, but my husband refused. Each time she has come across beautiful earrings she liked, we talked about it some more, preparing her for the pain and upkeep. Finally, she made the decision – she was ready.
After selecting the “right” set of earrings she wanted, Don Roberto Jewelers’ friendly staff cleansed and marked her ears while I chatted with her, preparing her for that quick pinch that was coming.
Nervous, she clenched her fingers and in a snap, it was done. The helpful staff made it quick with one working on each side so she wouldn’t have to endure the pain twice.
My beautiful – BRAVE girl with her shiny new sapphire flower earrings was all smiles. She said it did hurt a little, mostly stung for a few minutes after, but is certainly glad she did it. And, we picked up an extra pair of earrings for when the holes heal.
To celebrate, we ran outside and turned her into a kitty; her favorite thing to do is face painting, so it was a must!
Thanks to Don Roberto Jewelers for the awesome memories of this big milestone for my beautiful ballerina.
