I got bling bling!

So finally today Gamila can be officially call a girl she has earrings.


I feel like it has taken for ever for me to do them. The first time I was going to do them they found her heart murmur so I post poned it, then came going to Egypt the last thing I needed was a pair of ear lobes infected in Egypt, then the Eczema but Today WAllah my princess Gamila has earrings.


I just don't understand why in this country they would not pierce their ears the moment you are born in Colombia you come out of the womb and pang you are pierce. I did ask the nurse today and her response was the earlobes grow so much is hard to be precise as to where to open them did not make much sense but who cares! So when I got Samia's pierced at 9 months people would look at me like if I was barbaric or they would make the comment -- oh poor baby it hurt her, why do that --- I will be like well beauty hurts...is just a cultural thing I know in Egypt and Colombia the same a little girl without earrings is like me without a bra, you just need to have them on.


Seriously I can go out without a watch my rings but my earrings they have to be on, I literally feel naked if I don't have my earrings on. I guess they have being with me since I was 3 minutes old figures.


Poor nenas they just have a pair of barbaric parents by the age of three their heads have being shaved, their ears have being pierce and I have giving them the taste of la chancla...but nenas one day you will thank me...Samia your hair is thick and lots of it, Gamila yours the same but with lots of curls, Samia you being wearing the same earrings I wore when I was born, Gamila you will be wearing the same earrings Titi Mio had when she was a baby well that is after six weeks from today.

I know she won't even remember the pain when she gets older! I think I wore earings for as long as I remeber, I think my mom did it when I was like 3 months! Looking awesome!

I was born in Cuba, so my ears were pierced right after I was born. I think little girls without earrings don't look as femminine. Your daughter looks beautiful with her earings on. Felicidades!

Yaya, Stacy, Wenbren, Brownie Thanks so much for the comment.

Ninnevah - thanks for stopping by. Inshallah they would appreciate it.

Maria Eugenia - I know in Miami many places do the ear pierceing at very young age I guess because of the influx of latinos
Gracias cuidate
