Like my new earrings?
So Kyboo got her ears pierced today… I know that a lot of people do not agree on getting babies or toddlers ears pierced. I am not trying to debate that fact on this post. I am just sharing our experience every family has to decide what is right for their little ones. I for one was tired of people asking if Kyra was a boy.. I was just asked last month on our vacation to Atlanta. She was dressed from head to toe in purple (for Maddie) and we still got “oh he is so cute”. Ahhh. Another reason I decided to do it was because she was so young and I was hoping she would not mess with them. I got mine pierced when I was 8 and I kept touching them and they became all red and were very sore. So I asked my husband if I could get it done and he finally said “ok, but I can’t be there”. He can’t stand to hear his little girl cry.
So we decided today would be a good day to do it. Mason and Ben were going to a baseball game at the Greenville Drive. We dropped our boys off and headed to the mall. We decided to go to the Piercing Pagoda the two girls at the counter were very nice and very informative and I felt comfortable having them do it. They made over Kyboo saying what pretty eyes she had. I decided on small gold studs for Boo and white gold studs for me since I was planning to get my ears pierced too. I was not going to put Kyboo through the pain alone. I had to go for a third hole because I already have a second one.
So when it was our turn to sit in the chair I sat Kyboo in my lap. I got mine pierced first, and I have to say it hurt a lot less then any other piercing I have had after it was not even sore. Then it was Kyboo’s turn and yes she cried it was really hard for me when she did. But they gave her a lollipop and this is her happily crunching away a few minutes later.
She was such a trooper and did not even cry when I cleaned them before she went to bed, and she has not messed with them at all. When we picked our boys up Mason kept telling her that he liked her “new earrings”. And her Daddy thought she was awefully pretty! Now when I dress her from head to toe in purple people should say, ” What a cute little girl.” =-)
