I got my ears pierced!!
When Maddie was 5 months old, we decided it was time to get her ears pierced. I had my ears pierced when I was 8 weeks old and can't remember a thing, so I wanted Maddie to get them done early so she wouldn't remember either! When her ear was pierced, she immediately started crying like she does when she gets her shots. I picked her up and smiled and she stopped..... looked over at me....and smiled. I could just hear the voice in her head... "wait, you mean I'm not supposed to be hurt or sad... ok then." We chose little pink flowers as the first earrings and she looks like a beautiful little princess.
Was searching for my GF’s blog and came across yours. Loved your pictures of your little girl's ears pierced. This was a perfect age to do when mommmy can care for them and she'll just grow up with them thinking they are part of her. She is totally adorable with those CZS in her ears. I think you were a super smart mommy wanting it done early.
ReplyDeleteShe'll thank you later for the “gift of pierced ears” as an infant! Like you, I was envious of other girls in preschool with earrings and wish my mom had pierced my 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."
If any other moms thinking about it and want to do it now or would like them, write me an e-mail.
