The Big Day

No… we're already married, so it wasn't that big day.  Soph's already born, so… wasn't that either.

It was a big day for me, though (and her!).  Because…

We pierced her ears!  Well, we didn't, but you know what I'm saying.  Although I couldn't get her to smile for the pictures, she did very well and hasn't seem to notice them at alll!

I had struggled with this decision for a few months now.  I knew I wanted to get them done, but I wasn't sure that I could do it to her.  I justify her pain from getting shots by her "needing" them medically, but how could I justify doing this for vanity?  That was my internal struggle.  During her past two rounds of shots, she had reacted so well… very few tears.  So, I decided it was time.  I know it's completely a personal opinion… some people feel strongly about not piercing children's ears, but I chose to and I am happy with my decision.

She was cute before and it only adds to her cuteness, in my opinion!

  1. She is soo adorable! (I saw this post photo under “You may also like-” so had to take a look :o )

    We had both our girls ears pierced when they were 5 months old. I think totally worth doing it when they were little. And with the second daughter, they were able to do both ears at the same time, which seemed to happen so fast that she didnt even cry!

    Blessings & Aloha!

    I don't remember if you were reading my blog when we got Darah's ears pierced, but I wrote about my conflicting feelings. I can identify with what you are saying, and I'm also really happy with our decision!
