Audrey had been going back and forth with the idea of getting her ears pierced. She would say she wants it done but then change her mind because it would hurt. This went on for months. All of a sudden she decided she was ready. We were in the car and she asked to go right now.
Chuck got home early from work so we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take her. Plus, we were able to get it done before Carter got home from school. Audrey was really brave and didn't want to hold our hand. She didn't cry or even say ouch. She did AWESOME!
The first look she gave me
The look of that didn't feel like a shot. When she was going back and forth with the idea I was honest with her that it will hurt a little but that it would be quick like a shot. She does great with shots and never cries or complains about them so I thought it would give her the encouragement she needed.
That look quickly turned to a smile. She was thrilled to have her pink diamonds.
Such a poser :)
She kept asking for pink diamonds and picked out these pink flowers
I was searching for my GF's blog and came across your interesting one. Loved how your daughter finally decided to have her ears pierced. Your story reminded of a funny experience when we had our 4 year old daughter's ears
ReplyDeletepierced and I didn't have her sibling ears pierced on the same day.
After piercing our ODD's ears for her birthday with my sister, we came home and showed daddy. He really loved them. What happened next surprised me. Dh asked why I hadn't had her sister, a 14 mo old girl ears pierced! I didn't know what to say, but then our 4 yr chimed in saying she wanted her sissy to have matching earrings like hers (CZ studs). I told hubby maybe her younger sib was too young? Wrong. Now my family was ganging up on me!
Everyone wanted BOTH my girls to have pierced ears since they were so close and shared everything!
The next day, dh calls out to me from the family room asking me to come in there. Our 4 yr had gotten a pair of my earrings and was trying to put them in her younger sister's ears! She almost put one in her ear canal! Dh laughed and told me, I told you that you should have pierced all the girls ears. Please take her sister to have them pierced before we had to take her to the ER or to remove an earring!
I went the next day and had Missy's ears pierced and her sissy held her while I took pictures. She barely shed a tear and sissy was so excited. Don't know if you've considered having your YDD's ears pierced.
Admittedly, I don't know why I didn't do all the girls that same day, however, looking back it actually was a good idea and it wasn't even mine :) I was the only one who needed convincing.
Don't know if you remotely thought of having your YDD's ears pierced. However, if so, then maybe your mommy intuition is telling you now is good time. Promise the girls would both look adorable in her pictures with cute earrings :)!
