Ears pierced.. finally

We took Kristen to the mall today as a surprise to allow her to have her ears pierced. We are those archaic parents that never had it done when she was a baby.. we let her choose as she got older. She's been asking and asking for 2 yrs and since she turned 10... we felt that turning double digits was special so we let her.


She's very happy :D

I have a soon to be 4 yr old that wanted to do hers too.. but we told her she'd have to wait.


it's tough when you want to be like your big sister isn't it?

Glad to know I'm not the only "archaic" parent in the world!


DH left it up to me, but I think he would've had it done when she was a baby.

Thanks to Kelly (mom2emsopmax) for my beautiful siggy! Photobucket

YAY!!!!

We watched a little baby girl get hers pierced yesterday. Grandma was there which was a big mistake...lol. But she just cried for a couple minutes and was okay.

Congrats Kristen! I'm an archaic parent too. Megan is 7 and has been asking to get her ears pierced for a year or so. I keep telling her I got mine pierced at 13 and I have 10 in mind for her but haven't given any specific age - just the vague "when you're older". I definitely want her to be old enough to take care of the herself with a little supervision. It's a rite of passage of sorts in my mind and kids seem to grow up so fast these days that I wanted to hold onto this for awhile. If they get them pierced at 5,6,7,8 what do you do that's special at 10, 11, 12, etc?

Well 10 was the second hole so that was special.


I guess 13 will be the belly button pierced?


Then at 16 she can get her first tattoo?

my dd was 11 when she had hers done. They had to do them one at a time because she's such a baby. Doesn't like pain. :)
