Ear piercings

My sweet little daughters had their toddler ears pierced today. I never expected this event to happen until they were older. My wife and I had decided after they were born to let them make the choice when they got older. Perhaps do it with their teen friends as a rite of passage. However, sure enough, they are indeed older and made the decision themselves just yesterday. And they're just in their nursery and preschool years. Way off base from teen-dom.

So how'd it go? Well, I couldn't have been more proud of them. A totally smooth event. They didn't even blink. I mean really! No blinking. No cry or sudden jerk or anything. You'd think they're missing some nerves in their lobes.

I truly feel this moment as a milestone and I'm just so proud of them for being brave.

Such sweeties. And now they feel that much prettier.
