Ear Piercing

Maddie has been talking about getting her ears pierced for months!  We finally talked Chris into it on vacation.  Well, today was the day it finally happened.

Actually, Maddie loved the idea until it came time to do it.  We were going to go yesterday but she started to say she didn't want them done and wanted to wait for a year or two until she was 5 or 6.

So today I just decided we were going to do it no matter what!  We brought Emma with us for moral support.  

However, once we got there and Maddie picked out her earrings, she was fine.  She winced for a second and then she smiled!

Now her ears are pierced!

  1. Tylyn,

    Was searching for my GF’s blog and came across yours. Loved your thoughtful reasoning and description and pictures of having your little girl's ears pierced. She is totally adorable with those gold studs in ear.

    I think you were a super smart mommy like your mother for doing it now when mommy can care for them.

    They’ll thank you later for the “gift of pierced ears” as an infant!

    Our ped also encouraged to do it when mommy could care for them. I think babies and little girls with

    pierced ears are adorable. It celebrates their femininity and femaleness. Like you, I kept seeing babies and little girls with earrings and how cute they were with little gold studs in their ears poking through their hair.

    Our ped gave me some suggestions for moms having their infant dd’s ears pierced as well as for “Tips for moms having their dd’s ears pierced/Care of Newly Pierced Ears.”

    If you or any other moms thinking about it and want to do it now or would like them, write me an e-mail.
