Chloe gets her ears pierced

For over a month Chloe talked about getting her ears pierced. Last week, she came home from preschool saying she was not a real princess because she did not have pierced ears like Megan at school.

Pierced ears became priority one for her. She talked about Santa getting her ear rings and how pretty she would be. Telling her she was pretty the way she was did not help. She could be prettier with ear rings....

I wanted to be there when she got her ears pierced because it seemed so important to her, but I did not want to be blamed for putting her through the pain, if she cried.

Well, I decided to man up and go. Below is a video of my brave little girl. I swear I see her fighting back tears. But, she won't admit to it. At the end, with no one to remind her, she even tells the women "Thank You"!

Now she wants Santa to bring her ear rings and lots of make up......

We loved this video. Amanda has been thinking about getting her ears pierced. I told her she would have to wait until she was 13. She wants to do it but is scared it will hurt a lot. Chloe gave her the push she need to not be afraid. We might even relent and let her do it for Christmas if she can get the courage up. Hey maybe I will take a video of the event and share here.

Chloe gave Amanda the courage to get her ears pierced for Christmas this year. They would not allow us to take a video but we did get some pictures. I kept reminding her about Chloe and how brave she was. Amanda is now happy to have her new earings and she feels like a real princess now - ha ha!
