Kindergarten Shots

Last week Ryan had her 5 year old annual check up at the doctor. I had been preparing her for this visit for a long time but it didn't make the inevitable any easier! In preparation for kindergarten, she had to get 4 shots plus a TB test (which is a needle that she watched go into her forearm)! OUCH!!! Poor thing cried her little heart out! She kept telling me that she was going to be so brave but then couldn't hold back the tears. I told her that she was still brave and that even brave girls need to cry! Shots hurt... no bones about it!!! And then I said that all brave girls that are getting ready for kindergarten need an ice cream to make them feel better!

And feel better she did after that bubble gum ice cream with M&M's (yuck!)
