kiara & her 'pickies'...

just an update on our day today... we were up this morning for rubys voice therapy & then immediately following, i took kiara to the health department for her shots/'pickies'... she was sooooooo excited that she was going to get pickies & that ruby & karleigh couldn't come... she was beaming from ear to ear just at the thought of it... we went in & with her eyes wide, she proceeded to share with the nurse what was about to happen... she said that she was going to get pickies & that they'd hurt, but if she held really still that they'd hurt less... i kept thinking to myself, hold still - yeah right!... well, i held her as they gave the first pickie in her arm & all she said was, "oh oh oh oh oh" & just whimpered... the lady had already told her (without asking me) that if she didn't cry, then mommy would be taking her out for lunch... when pickie #2 came, she let it all out & screamed!!... then pickie #3 arrived & she cried, but was soooo ready to leave... on the way out the door she said, "i didn't cry on that first pickie, right mom?"... i said, "no honey, you did great!"... she said, "good, cause i'm hungry & ready for lunch" UGH... (we then went to chili's to eat!)... this evening dustin & suzy stopped by & visited for quite awhile & were both in very good moods & we really enjoyed ourselves... spike's away on business & won't return until tomorrow night so it's just me & the girls :(...
