What are they doing to my child!!!?

Yesterday I took HP to the doctor for a quick check up on her UTI (she is all better now). Before we left she had to pee in a cup, get her finger pricked, be tested for TB AND get 4 additional immunizations. All of which was completely unexpected and so I hadn't prepared her (or myself) for it. She was a trooper to say the least. Yes, there were tears of pure horror but she never pulled away or tried to stop the nurses who so diligently poked at her like a pin cushion. She makes me proud every day. I wanted to cry for her but I was trying hard to be her cheerleader and remind her what a "big girl" she was.

After we finally left the doc's (torture chamber)office. I took her strait to TCBY. When we walked in she pointed to the largest cup available to be filled with frozen chocolate yogurt and topped with "bunches" of cherries. The man behind the counter looked at me like a crazy lady for buying that much for such a small girl and she barely even got ten good bites in before she was full ~ but it was so worth it to see her smiling again.

That was super sweet of you.

You go HP. I bet you acted bigger than I do when they bring our those needles. =)

Bless her little heart. She knows how to milk it for all it's worth too! :)

Poor girl! Ice cream always helps!
Isn't long until Blake is here! SHe may need double scoops when he comes along so that she isn't jealous, right?! Any excuse!
