I asked her advice and she encouraged me to go ahead and pierce all the girls ears. I was surprised at her response and told her I would think about it. Her reasoning was when mommy cared for them, there was never any problems during the healing time, but when little girls wanted them, they often failed to care for them properly.She gave me some suggestions for moms having their dd's ears pierced. I put them away and thought it would be years before I needed to read it. Wrong. <br /><br />Well, our dd began seeing her peers with pierced ears, I also kept seeing babies and cute little girls with darling earrings. After our oldest, age 4 got hers done, my 2 yr old wanted to have "earwigs" like her sister. When I came home with Missy (our 2yr old), dh asked why I didn't have our 8 mo dd's ears pierced too! Well, guess what, we all went the next day and had Sandi's ears pierced too! All three girls now have pierced ears and are adorable. There was no problem caring for them. <br /><br />Don't know if you'd considered having your younger girls ears pierced now, but after I did, they all were so proud of their earrings and looked adorable in their pics with little pierced ears. <br /><br />I'd say if you've thought about it, then your mommy intuition is telling now is better. Write me an e-mail for our ped's tips. <br /><br />Amy<br />amyswor@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870220321385230390.post-2436101574390039402010-06-25T22:56:12.308-04:002010-06-25T22:56:12.308-04:00So good to see a post from you.

She lost one of them sometime on Tuesday and we went to bu her a new pair Tuesday night. It was so heartbreaking (in a 'oh my baby is growing up' sort of way) to watch her pick out the pair she wanted. <3Mama.Mommy.Mom.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09740280219465344575noreply@blogger.com
