Pierced Ears for My Baby

Lucy has been asking and asking to get her ears pierced. Carlie too, but not nearly with the earnest that Lucy has been asking. I finally said, "Okay, let's go this week and get them done" thinking that she may rethink her decision. Nope. She said, "when this week?" So today we traveled to the mall to get my baby girl's ears pierced. Daddy wasn't 100% on board, but at the end of the decision, he wasn't objecting. I think I saw a tear or two in Jeff's eyes when he met us for lunch after it was done. I know it is just earrings, but it really does make her seem SO MUCH older. Carlie was on the fence on whether or not to get her done. After watching Lucy...she decided she wasn't ready yet. We purchased some cute earrings for her to wear after the six weeks of the starters. So cute. She is so proud of those earrings, every mirror she walks by, she looks at herself. Funny, I remember doing the same thing. Maybe somebody Carlie will decide she wants too...maybe not. I told her that it is her decision and that mommy doesn't care either way. Its funny when you put decisions like those in their hands. I think it gives you glimpes the young adult they are becoming.

A little nervous...as she explained to me..."I have butterflies in my stomach mommy!"


A few tears afterwards....


Tears turned into smiles after she got to see her new bling bling in the mirror...


And pick out new earrings...


The "starter" earrings have come a long way...aren't these little flowers cute??

I even got tears in my eyes when I saw her little tears with a forced smile. She is so cute....and I agree about the starter earrings. Oh, I can't wait to see her!

Congratulations on the earrings Lucy! Those blue flowers are really cute, but I bet you can't wait to start changing them out to see all of your new looks. :)
