I have never had a strong opinion about my girls getting their ears pierced. I never found a rule about the right age or the best time. So i decided when they were old enough to ask for it themselves we would talk about it. I would not talk them into it, I would be honest about how it would hurt, it would be their choice. I am not one to say it's the best way to go but it is working for us.
Brooke had her ears pierced a few months back and I thought we would have lots of time before Abby would jump on that train. All of the sudden last Saturday she was determined to convince me she was ready to get them pierced. Naturally I thought her sister had talked her into it and tried to talk her out of it with telling her it was going to hurt....a lot. She just told me she would be brave and that she was ready.
We headed to the mall. I really thought she would back out. She didn't! They did both of the earrings at the same time and to my surprise she didn't even cry!! She was so excited to have earrings and I have to admit I think its pretty cute.
