Okay so my daughter has been bugging me about wanting earrings for about the last 18 months or so. (She's 38months by the way). I dont' want to incite debate on ear piercing or such other cosmetic practices on small children but has anyone had their daughter's ears done? How did it go? Where did you do it? Do they pull on them?
The way I figure it, my daughter is old enough now to be not pulling on her ears(she listens well enough I believe that if I told her not to, she wouldn't, at least until I had to tell her again!) and if you incorporate the cleaning of the ears into daily routines same as toothbrushing, I think it would be fine. I want to ask her pedi if she would do it(I know some places do, I don't know if ours does) to be safer than going to the mall and haivng some teenager do it. We were walking in the mall and walked by one of those teenager stores that does ear piercing and a little girl was getting hers done. M watched with interest and I told her how they take a little needle and put holes in your ears for the earrings to go in and how it does hurt. She STILL wants them done. I was thinking of making a big deal out of it and getting them done for Christmas. What does everyone think? Any experiences for me? I'm not really decided, just thinking about it.
