Chloee's shots :(

As you all know... well, those that read my blogs.. Chloee is getting ready to start Kindergarten!!
It blows my mind. She is growing way. too. fast. And yes, I now know why all parents say that.

To sign up for K on Monday, she needed to get her shots done.

Daddy was really good at explaining to her what shots are, how they feel, and why she needed them. She was scared, but what 5 year old isn't? I'M still scared of shots.

I took her in this morning to the pediatrics, she forgot she was at the doc cause she was having fun playing with other kids and with the toys.

They were showing eachother their stuffed animals and they almost had matching pants.

When they called her name she got a little nervous and shy and just walked with me by my side and held my hand. The assistant weighed her, measured her, and checked her eye sight. Good, good and good! Doc came in and made sure she was a healthy 5 year old, and she is as healthy as can be :)

Next were the shots.
Ooooohhhh the shots.

They took us into a special Vaccination room.

It was so hard to watch her be hurt, at least it's for a good purpose and every child gets them.

She needed one on her arm and one in each thigh.

She was absolutely terrified and crying, and yet I could only hold her close, kiss her cheek, rub her back and tell her that it was almost done.

I've never seen her cry so hard :(

Breaks my heart!!

But it had to be done.

And no, no pics. my attention was no where near snapping a shot.

It was a good mommy moment for me. Not good because she was miserable. Good because I am her mommy, she needed me and I wanted nothing more but to be there to comfort her.

And that is just for shots at 5 years old!... I have the rest of her life to be there for her at times like this when she gets hurt, or heart broken, or anything! I wouldn't miss it for the world.

My heart goes out to all the kids and parents, who's kids are sick in the hospital with cancer, or whatever the situation, getting shots weekly or daily. Brave little ones. I just want to help them. I want to take it away fromt them, they don't deserve so much hurt :(

But, sometimes, I have to realize that's just how life goes and there's nothing I can do but pray .

Anyways, They gave her a bunch of stickers (I had to peel off the table and fridge later) She chose spiderman.. I love it.. and it made her a little itty bitty teeny tiny happy.

Daddy promised since it's not fun to get shots, that she can get a new toy and we can go get ice cream!

We got cold stone. YUM.

Chlo got green and blue - mint and cotton candy with sprinkles An interesting mix, but whatever floats her boat :)

Corbin got his usuall - vanilla with crushed reeses

For me - half chocolate, half cake batter :)

Took her to get a toy at good ol' K-mart and she chose 2 baby dolls!!

She doesn't usually like dolls. Doesn't like barbies.. I was totally the same way when I was little. All about the stuffed animals.

When we got home, it was raining and it felt so nice to get in comfy's and lay in bed.
Opened our sliding door a little to listen to the rain and we all snuggled and took an incredible nap. Until a HUUUGE thunder woke me up. Biggest one I've ever heard. Tons of cars alarms started going off haha. It's okay though, storms are my favorite. I miss them in Utah! Don't get much here.

Chlo.. AND I..are so relieved the shots are over.

No more for a while.

Phew!

I love my brave little stinker!!

I hope you all had a good Friday the 13th! Muah ha haaa!
