Second soccer practice:
Forgot my camera
Remembered three chairs
Grass a wet, muddy marsh
Ryan enjoyed stomping in the mud and throwing his tennis ball. He’d turn to Ainsley and say, “Get. Get.” Then point to his ball. I said, “You go get it.” He shook his head and said, “Ains. (Pause while trying to get Ainsley’s attention. More pointing) Get. Get.” And she’d go get it for him to throw again.
Took Natalie’s earrings out (it’s been 7 weeks) and in the two hours of practice the middle of her ear closed up. I basically pushed through the wound again to get them back in. Lots of crying in fear and banging on the bathroom vanity in pain afterward. I felt horrible, but she said she did not want to go back to the store to get them repierced and did not want them to close totally. Guess her body is really really good at healing.
Ainsley sat on my lap, ran after Ryan’s ball, and explored the hill behind my chair the entire time. She did great but is ready for her turn. Keeps asking how long til Saturday.
Need to remember a sweater for all of us next time. Was super chilly and made me want to make soup. Yea for fall.

Regarding the ears – ask if putting bandaids over the earrings during practice will be ok, if you take them out for games. Sometimes they are ok with that.
And I’ve had my ears pierced for 15yrs now, and they still start closing within 30min of my earrings being out. Reason number one why I never take them out. 🙂
That’s interesting! I’ve had my earrings since I was two months old, so 28 years) and I’ve had them out for years at a time when I was in my teens and they never grew in.
My daughters had them done in January 2010 and my younger one had them out for 2 months this summer and the earrings went in just fine.
The girl who did their ears said they can be changed at 6 weeks but they should always have earrings in their ears for the first year because some people have super healing powers. I guess I see what she meant now 🙂
