Pierced

Ella got her ears pierced last friday. This is something I have gone back and forth on a hundred times and finally did it. Even after it was done I was still second guessing myself. I didn't want to do it as a baby, as many do, because I didn't want to make her look older. I wanted her to be a baby for as long as possible. I was torn because I hated to put her through the pain, yet part of me wanted to get it over with before she really knew what it meant to get earrings. I was in tears as they got ready to do it. She was amazing...no tears, nothing, not even a flinch. This helped me feel a tiny bit better about my decision to go through with it. If she had cried I would have totally lost it!
