Earrings in a time capsule!



So I am a big fan of keepsakes...and thank God I have two girls. Samia since you are nine months you being wearing the same earrings I wore when I was a baby. If I am not mistaken I wore those earrings from the day I was born till when I was 5 years old. Then at 5 Abuela put another pair of hoops and those I wore till about 10 years old.

Samia now you are wearing my 5 year old hoops and Gamila you are wearing my baby earrings.

Is just those little things that make me so happy and hopefully one day my grandchildren would wear them...well that is if they are girls.

So nenas take care of those earrings as of today one pair is 34 years old and the other one 29 wow wow....

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.
