I know.. I know.. it looks awful but let me explain.. :) One of my duties as a nurse is to hold very wiggly, very strong, very non-understanding, non-reasoning with infants and children during lumbar punctures. This is a procedure where the doc puts a needle into the space in between the vertebrae in your spine, so important they don't move. During this procedure they say that their success rate is 90% related to the holder and the position we are able to keep the kiddo in... no pressure there right? Ha! Anyways... The way I see it, as I placed the ears of my twin daughters into the hands of persons that may pierce their necks for all I know, is that their success rate was going to be 90% related to the way I held them down. It may seem a bit tense in the above pic, but trust me the girls didn't move a hair and we have 4 perfectly pierced ears after only 1 try! Or technically 2 I suppose!
Tonight during baths the girls were nothing but smiles and sparkles! The girls cried approx 30 seconds after the piercing and so far not even a peep, even when touching their ears. We had Hannah's ears pierced when she was 9 months old (You can check out that post here... Hannah's ear piercing ), so the girls are a little younger but everything went well! And the earrings Dad picked out look great! Brooke has purple ones.
And Aspen has pink!
P.S. Someone else's toy is always better!
