Well no it’s not another for me that I have wanted for so long, like my nose when I got that done the other month. This is for my little or well middle child Heidi. This little girl has been begging me for almost a month straight to get her ear pierced. I haven’t been saying no, but a maybe. I told hubby the other day my only main reason for “maybe” was that I knew it was going to hurt her and my Heidi is rather the delicate one. He mentioned that it’s something she really wants and she’s tough, I beg the differ, but non the less I caved and said yes.
She was super excited from the moment she woke up. Only Chloe woke up not feeling well and pretty miserable. She has woken me off and on all night crying and not knowing why, my poor baby girl.
Once we got there, they suggested they do both the ears at the same time, PERFECT. I couldn’t watch her get one done and then the second knowing what was coming and being scared.
She picked her colour, a blue to match her eyes she said, so cute. And so it started. There wasn’t enough room with two people doing it for me to even get in close to her. They asked her to count to 5 for them, she got to 3 and then OUCH, OUCH, OUCH…. Her face was showing she was in pain and thought of crying. It took everything in me not to push the two ladies out of the way to cuddle her and make sure she was ok, but then she smiled and had a look in the mirror and was the happiest little girl on the planet, well ok maybe just Seymour at that very moment.
And here she is all happy and picture perfect [was before the earrings as well, but then I am biased as I made her, lol....] She has been so careful and great with them. I truly thought this would make Chloe want them as well, as what ever Heidi has Chloe wants and what ever Chloe has Heidi wants too. They are almost like twins in that way, most likely doesn’t help that I dress them a like a lot.
Some people ask me WHY? WHY do you dress them the same? And my answer is pretty simple. If I am shopping alone, I don’t want to buy something for one girl and something different for the other, because they always want each others. If they are with me when I am shopping they always pick the same. Sometimes I get the same only different colour and only if they agree. After all they are the ones wearing the clothes, I’m just the one taking photos, hahaha.
WOW she is Brave!!! and such a good idea getting both ears done at the same time!! She looks like she is proud as punch!! I remember getting mine done (at 16 hahaha) and I was the same LOL

What a brave little lady … but then again, arent all ladies brave in the name of vanity!
She looks cute. My daughter has hers pierced too. She almost 5. I had hers done when she was 6 months old.
Kellie,
Was searching for a GF’s blog and came across yours. Started reading and came across your humorous post about your dd, Heidi, wanting her ears pierced, but you were wondering when your YDD, Chloe, would want hers done too like her older sister. Had to pause and laugh because my dd was similarly determined to have her ears pierced too
and it was just peer pressure and a matter of time till her younger sister had them done 
When I had our ODD done, dh wanted me to go ahead and have her younger sister done too. I was unsure since she almost 2 yrs younger and aged two. Told dh I would ask our ped for her advice.
Well, I didn’t expect what happened next. Our ped actually encouraged me to go ahead saying it was best when mommy could care for them. She said it have become more popular to pierce newborns, infants and little girls ears because is safer with the newer ear piercing instruments than the traditional methods of using a needle, thread by the mother or grandmother. She gave me some suggestions for moms having their dd’s ears pierced which included some OTC meds to minimize any discomfort. She said doing them when mommy could care for them was best.
I didn’t have long to wait. One day, dh calls out to me from the family room asking me to come in there. Our YDD had gotten a pair of my earrings and was asking dh how to put them in her ears! She almost put one in her ear canal! Dh laughed and told me to take her to have them pierced before we had to take her to the ER to remove an earring!
At this point, I was ready and told dh I started seeing other little babies including two in church nursery and another little girl in our playgroup with earrings. I finally realized how cute our little toddler would look with cute earrings and yielded to pressure. Almost in a spur of the moment, I decided to have our 6 mo dd’s ears pierced too
She did great with her older two year old sister.
I dont’ know if you are ready to have your YDD’s done, but promise she want them later and doing when you can care for them is the best time. With her older sister having cute earrings, it will be easy to convince her by holding up a pair or your studs to her ears in front of the mirror. Promise she’ll look adorable and be begging to have them done
If any other moms would like our ped’s tips, write me an e-mail.
