Ears Piercing

My 2 little princesses have finally worn real earrings.

Well, it was definitely not Mummy's idea.  Tho' Mummy was tempted to have their ears pierced before they were 1 year old, nothing actually materialised as mummy just couldn't bear to let them suffer the pain.  Now, it was these 2 darlings who had requested for it. 

My Sweetie was the first to have hers done in end September.  It was rather impromptu that day while my Cutie was at her enrichment class and Mummy was just checking out for places that provide ear piercing services. 

But once at the shop, no matter how Mummy tried to dissuade her of the pain, my Sweetie was just very persistent then (luckily in her sweetie manner).  Mummy was having cold sweats as only 1 staff was available for the service (usually for kids, it's better to have 2 staff to do the piercing at the same time).  My Sweetie told me that she would not cry even if it was painful and true enough, she was so brave throughout the session.  She didn't cry at all and both her ears were pierced one after another just within minutes.  Her courage is truly unimaginable.  She is just 3 years old.

It was only today that my Cutie got hers done (due to a big fat mosquito bite on her ear that took so long to subside).  Unfortunately, the other staff was not present again and my Cutie's threshold for pain is much lower.  Mummy had to assure her again and again before she agreed to get the other ear pierced.  *Ouch*

Despite the pain, both of them are extremely pleased to see the final results on their ears.  *Sigh*, why do women always have to suffer so much pain for the sake of vanity, hee...
