getta shot

about 2 weeks ago "dr. gene" is all aubrey would talk about. she had gotten hurt playing and kept talking about "go to doctor.....i not scared....dr. gene check aubrey." today was her 2 year appointment and the last of her shots (at least until she is 3). i wanted to make sure (seeing as she was finally NOT afraid of the doctor) that she had some idea what was going to happen. i did the best i could to prep her.

"shots are medicine, they keep us from getting sick. it's going to hurt a little, but i am going to hug you. ok?" i said.

the appointment went great. the nurse called her name in the waiting room and she took off to exam room (they always put us in the same one). i was trying to gather up leah and all our things and she already had nurse debbie in the room checking her. dr. gene came in and she let him check her ears, eyes, heart etc.

then came the moment of truth. that brave little girl walked right over to the table and sat on my lap. she held her blanket and didn't even try to get away when they had to do the second shot. i gave her a big hug and said. "you were so brave".

she talked to pappy and daddy on the phone...."i getta shot. i brave." she said.
we went for a milkshake at burger king. "i like it!"
