He called this morning to get permission to get his ears pierced. My first answer was "I'll talk it over with your dad & then send you a text". He was sooo appreciative & excited you would have thought that I had said "tomorrow is Christmas morning". His actual reply was "thank you for your openess". Okay ... say it with me ... Awwww. :o) It really is quite sweet when you consider that he turned 18 last month so technically he's legal & doesn't have to ask. But do NOT fear that we have washed our hands & there are no Guide Lines, cause there are! ;-)
Anyway, we discussed it & the answer we gave him was ... ears only, single piercings & NO plugs! It's no surprise, he's wanted this for a loooooong time. We were not against him having this done, I've just had it set up as a reward type thing and as close as he's gotten in the past he's never quite made it the whole way. When we weighed things it really would have been hard to say no ... consider the following .... Spring Break, Sr Year, with the Greatest/Coolest Teacher EVER in a Foreign County!!! Too sweet of a memory to pass up, he did promise that there would be LOTS of pictures of it being done for me! ;-)
The last time I talked to him today it was a done deal, my kid now has two holes in his head, lol. Today was a down day so they weren't on tours, spent the day shopping, piercing, you know mingeling with the locals. Tonight's destination was the Jack the Ripper tour! That sounds like Fun! Can't wait to see the pics. :o)
Now I thought that I would share with you the pictures & comments that the tour director has posted on the tour website.
This is from yesterday (Monday) This is what the tour director said
"We loved parliament square on the London sightseeing tour."
Also from yesterday: "Here we are enjoying our visit to Windsor the weather was fantastic! "
The last of the pics that the tour director posted for yesterday: "Enjoying London tour we are in front of the famous tower bridge!"
This one is actually from Sunday, their first day there! "WE arrived safely in London here we are in Covent Garden. The weather was nice and sunny."
Well folks that's it for today, just wanted to update you on my kiddo's world travel adventure. :o)
