Isabelle has been saying now for about 2 weeks or so that she wants earrings like mommy so today while we were at Tri County Mall I asked if she wanted to get them pierced & she said yes. ?We picked out the earrings, explained what was going to happen & she did it. ?She said, "ouch that hurt" & had two little tears but as soon as they showed her them in the mirror she was so excited that she forgot about crying. ?Now every time she sees a mirror she checks herself out & does poses to see them. ?She picked out of course the most expensive pair, a pink crystal flower but said that we don't have to buy anymore earrings b/c she's going to wear these forever! ?I'm so proud of her & they look adorable!

Holy cow! I remember mine costing between $10 and $15. My friend who got hers pierced at the same time got hers for free since the gun broke in her ear and they basically did hers by hand, but that's another story...
Congrats to both your girls on their new earrings!
Yeah, I about passed out when they said the cost! ?Of course Isabelle picked the most expensive pair too! ?$37.50 for a pair of 14K gold earrings that have pink crystals to form a flower. ?The birthstone earrings were only a dollar cheaper so oh well it was worth it I guess b/c they are so cute & look better than the gold or silver balls & Isabelle said she loves them so much I never have to buy earrings again for her.

I'm sure they're super cute!!!
FYI: be sure to take them out after the waiting period. I did not with my favorite pair in 4th grade (my parents trusted me, right?) and one night I couldn't get them out. I had to have my earrings surgically removed because the skin had grown over the back of the earring. GROSS!!! I wound up getting them re-pierced when I was like 12 and my parents were completely convinced I'd take care of my ears that time around.
