We Got Our Ears Pierced!!!!!

'Punching Holes in Perfeclty Good Ears!'

I can still hear it to this day, 'pinching holes in perfectly good ears!' That's what my dad said she I got my ears pierced for the first time, then when my sister got here done, then when I got mine done again, and again, and, well, you get the picture.

So charly has been asking for almost a year, I think, to get her ears pierced. And every time I have said in the past that, it will poke a little but we can do it if you think your ready...' The answer has been a resounding, 'no!' She was a bit afraid of the pain.

But just before her birthday she started asking more frequently and when I told her that it would pinch for a minute she said it would be ok. So I thought we could do it for her birthday.

It has taken us until recently to finally take her in but we did it this weekend and can I say that I am so proud of my little girl. Not a flinch, not a tear, not even an 'ouwie it hurts'.

We went with a friend of hers and they did it together. It was so exciting for her. She has shown everyone that will look.

Now we are counting down the days until she can change them. Six weeks they said, until we can change them out. We are on day two...

Daddy wanted to have them done when they were infants but I had reservations then about it because I didn't want to hear her cry and I didn't want to take care of them. Then now that she was ready, he had reservations because he didn't want to hear her cry. By I felt like she was old enough to take care of them mostly on her own. Only time will tell I suppose but so far so good. She has been diligent about making sure she cleans the. And turns them 3 times per day.

The little one wanted me to take her picture but when I asked her if she was interested in getting her ears done she said she didn't want 'a pinch'. She was happy with the prospect of still using stick-ons.
