Today Todd and I took Mia to get her ears pierced at the mall. I was so nervous for her I almost chickened out. The girl working at Claire's assured me that she had pierced about 4 infants a day for the last 6 years. I had nothing to worry about. While waiting in line for our turn I spoke to another mother that had her first little girls ears pierced at 6 months old and was back with her new baby also 6 months old. She told me it was no big deal and we should not have any problems. Apparently 6 months old is the perfect time to pierce ones ears for a couple reasons, one they will never remember it, two they are not able to pull and tug on their ears that helps with the healing.
Here I am making sure the marks are in the right spot. When did I become an expert on this? Isn't that her job? What if I approve and it's not a good spot? This is too much pressure!
To my surprise, Mia only cried for about 30 seconds. She cries more when she gets her monthly shot. I think it scared her more than anything.
My camera shows the time and this is literally the same minute.
Shes over it....what a BIG girl. Mommy is so proud!
Shes ready for more shopping. Mia Marie you look so pretty with your new daisy earrings.
