Look Who Got Her Ears Pierced!

So I had mentioned in an earlier post that I was pretty sure I would get Rylan her ears pierced for her birthday. Well, Saturday afternoon we did it!

She did great, too! We met our neighbors, Stephanie and Annie, at the mall after nap so that Rylan and Annie could get their ears pierced. Annie said she would go first to show Rylan how to be brave and not be scared - Too cute, right? Anyway, Annie did great, not a tear in sight. Rylan went right after. She didn't like having her ears cleaned with alcohol, but once we got through that she sat tight and was ready. I stood behind her and held her hands. I could feel her jump a little as they pierced both ears at the same time. And once it was done there were some tears, but they were gone quickly with the offer of a lollipop :)

She has been quite proud of her new earings. She points to her ears and says "My ears pierced!" She sometimes follows that with an "Ow" as well, but mostly she's all smiles. She has been very good about having me clean them twice a day and I have been putting Neosporin on them 1-2 times a day as well. Overall I think it has been a very good experience and I'm glad we decided to do it :)
