Linn has been bugging me for the past 2 years about getting her ear lobes pierced. I have been reluctant largely because she is too young. Plus, I don’t see many places providing this service in Stockholm. I thought i need to go to a tattoo piercing shop to get this done.

So when I had the chance last week and saw a shop that provides this service, I surprised her by asking her if she wanted to do it on the spot.

She did not have much time to consider (or getting cold feet) and now, she is extremely proud of her pierced ear lobes. It was priceless seeing her grinned from ear to ear. She glanced at the mirror every moment she can and I can see how happy she was. I am just glad to be there with her, allowing her to choose her first earring, and holding her hands when they did the piercing.

I love doing these girly things with my daughter.

If only she likes shopping.
