Iya Villania, ibinahagi ang pagiging matapang ng anak na si Alana Lauren

• TV host and celebrity mom Iya Villania took to Instagram to share a story about her daughter Alana's bravery
• Upon finding out that their pediatrician was visiting their home to vaccinate her siblings, Alana went out to announce something
• According to Iya, she was even waiting for her daughter to change her mind at one point
• Despite feeling discomfort initially, Alana remained resolute and pushed through with it

Iya Villania-Arellano could not contain her pride after her first daughter, Alana, showed remarkable bravery.

Taking to her verified Instagram account @iyavillania, the TV host posted a sweet video clip showing Alana smiling while showing off her newly pierced ears. Alana, whom the family affectionately calls "Ate Dudz," beamed in a pink unicorn-print dress as her proud mom praised her courage on camera.

Opening her caption, Iya gave the backstory on why Alana had to wait a few years before wearing earrings again:

"Our Ate Dudz 🥺 We got her ears pierced as a baby but we had to take them out cause they weren’t healing well and so she was wondering why Anya had earrings as a baby and she didn’t. So I told her that when she decides to get her ears pierced, we can have them done 😆 I asked her in the past if she’d want to already but anticipating the pain and fear of the puncture, she said that she’d wait until she was 7yrs old (which is next year 😆)."

Plans quickly changed when their family pediatrician scheduled a routine home visit:

"But yesterday morning, after discovering our pedia was coming over to give shots to her sibs, she goes, 'I’m ready to get earrings, mama!'😆 With the possibility of her eventually bailing, I was waiting for her to change her mind about it when our doctor arrived but the girl was decided 😆"

Iya noted how Alana managed the stinging sensation right after the first ear was pierced:

"After the first puncture I knew she could feel the heat on her ear as she was trying to manage the discomfort by applying pressure underneath her ear near the lobe, so I asked how she felt and if she wanted to see the earring in 😆 Excitedly she ran to the mirror to check 😆 and then showed her papa and the ates at home 😆"

Although Iya expected Alana might hesitate to finish the process, the young girl was determined to see it through:

"And so she went for the other ear without hesitation 🥺 So proud of her bravery 🥺 even if I know she was anticipating the pain, excitement still trumped the fear 😆💖 My girl 🥺"

Followers and fellow parents cheered Alana on in the comments, applauding her courage and praising Iya for allowing her daughter to make the decision on her own terms.
