SHOT BUDDIES

At my house if you even mention

SHOTS

Braelyn will begin to scream, cry and

then she will

HIDE.

And you know Braelyn, she is a quiet, sweet little girl.

This is what I deal with since Braelyn got

stitches.

When we go to the Doctor she even hates to be

weighed (I don't blame her there) but that is

where it begins.

Then when the Dr. comes in she begins to cry.

She won't even let him look in her ears

or listen to her lungs and heart.

Last time we went to the Dr. for her kindergarten

shots it took 3 of us to hold her and give her the shots.

She only got three that day and I would come back

for the last shot.

So today I decided to go to the clinic to get her last shot.

I didn't tell her where we were going until we were

leaving and she began to cry.

So SAD.

So she said, "Mom I want you to get a shot too."

I said we will see.

So we got there and it is mostly for children's vaccinations.

I asked if I could get a shot too.

They looked at me funny.

Braelyn was happy when they said yes.

But I had to pay $30.

So I had to run to the bank and get cash.

Come back and Braelyn and I became SHOT BUDDIES.

We even did a pinky shake.

What I wouldn't do for my

BRAELYN.

Tonight Brae says to me

"Mom I'm so proud of you. You didn't even cry."
