Abby begged to get her ears pierced. So I caved. She got them done today and was so happy when she saw them in the mirror. She never wavered in her decision. I was so proud of that. I think that's why I let her at 5 years old. I told her she had to clean them every day and keep them in. Now at bedtime, she just looked at me and told me, "I'm ready to take the earrings out now". Yikes. She has to keep them in for 6 weeks!!
