Dear Nana,
Thank you so much for visiting with me! I loved snuggling with you and especially liked listening to you sing and taking baths. You are so sweet and I can’t wait till you come visit again. Plus, Mommy and Daddy really appreciate all the meals you make and help around the house.
XO Abriella
Jen,
ReplyDeleteI have two daughters and took both of them to have their ears pierced when they were just six weeks old.
Daddy gave me his full support for this decision. With our older child, I was unsure whether or not she should have her ears pierced at such a young age but the hairdresser where I have been going for several years provides an ear piercing service for baby girls from one month after their first DTP from the ped. She suggested I should make this decision for our first baby when she reached this milestone.
I was a bit nervous at first but my hairdresser assured me it was best. Baby cried for about half a minute and then quickly forgot about it and we have had no problems with them since then. She gave me s short list of "to do's" before we brought her in for the ear piercing.
When our second daughter was born, it was a much easier decision. Daddy loved how our first girl looked so cute with little earrings and like "daddy's little girl." We were both delighted we decided that they should both start wearing earrings from a young age.
It is true that the baby does cry a little after having it done but sometimes as a parent you have to be cruel to be kind and it is not only far easier for them to have it done when they are tiny but they grow up used to wearing earrings as though they are part of them. They also look very pretty. Did I say she would look adorable in her upcoming holiday pics with little pierced earrings?
Our daughters are now two and three years and love wearing earrings. We can also taking them out for periods without the holes closing up. I know not everyone agrees with our decison but I firmly believe that little girls should have their ears pierced when they are babies and it is now increasingly popular for parents to make the same decision for their daughters.
I've been seeing more babies and little girls with cute earrings in MDO and in our playgroups for both girls. Many of the moms ask me a 100 questions and some of the moms with older infants and toddler wish they had done it sooner.
Write me if you'd like our hairdresser's short "to do" list before having your dd's ears pierced.
