I was thinking of getting my niece a bangle or something.
My daughter is 8 years old now but when she was a baby, I just didn't think a piercing was good parenting at all - (don't get mad with me, parents with babies with earing!), I think it is cute I just would not be able to cope with my baby screaming with the pain! Heck, I invented a safety hat so she wouldn't bang her head while she was learning to walk!
No, I think jewelry has its place but only when the person themselves (talking about piercing), has agreed that they want it.
Mind you in saying that, I went crazy when my 15 year old son came home with an eyebrow piercing - but thats another story!
