Back in December Sylvia wanted to get her ears pierced, and then when we got to the mall, not so much. It was no rush, as far as I was concerned. I told both girls it would hurt, and it is holes in their own little ears, so I figured when they were ready, then we'd go.
Sylvia decided maybe for her birthday, or next Christmas, or when she was turning twelve....
So, when Stella declared she wanted to get her ears pierced a week ago Monday, I didn't take her too seriously.
She wanted to know if she would be able to wear Dora earrings. I told her someday she probably could, but not at first. So she decided, that sounded great. She wanted to get her ears pierced that night and promptly requested the phone so she could call Daddy and confirm her plans.

When Sylvia came home from school Stella told her the plan and requested that Sylvie go first. "OK!".
I called all of the places around us, but no one had two people working on a Monday night so it would have to be one at a time. "No problem" they said.
Sylvie winced a little, but no tears. She bravely went forward with ear #2.
I really thought Stella would back out...but she hopped right up on the seat. I put down the camera to hold her little hands. She's tough, but she's only three...
She showed no emotion after the first one. AT ALL. except to give Daddy a quick glare. Ha!
She was still be in her emotionless zone in the pic above. However, a few minutes later and some time spent gazing in the mirror, they were both thrilled with their sparkling birthzone earrings.
