the girls recently visited the pediatrician's office for their well-child check-ups.
mad had no problems accepting that, at any time, the nurse would walk in with a tray full of shots. in fact, the whole time we were waiting, she danced in the room. and climbed the steps. and actually jumped on the examination bed - while chanting something nonsensical.
lil did not participate in such tomfoolery. i had assured her several times that she would not receive any immunizations. she merely scoffed and laid on the bed stiff as a board with the look of doom on her face. you'd think the ceiling had a sign that said "the end is near". also. it might. i didn't look. and mad can't read. so that could explain a bit.
idk if this picture necessarily makes me happy. but it sure does make me laugh.
Hahhahhaa man...
ReplyDeleteI want to lie stiff as a board and say, "just get this &#^(*^@& week over with!!"
Man see? I am still worthless.
Is there a shot to cure whining? Wait...there might be...
Yes, you have a clear grasp of childhood happiness, pretty picture. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor kid! That is kind of funny though.
ReplyDeleteCute shot!
ReplyDeleteHah! What a cute pic...
ReplyDeleteI know the "let's just get this over with feeling". I always get it at the dentist...
What a cutie- I'm sure those fears will subside as she gets older.
ReplyDeleteI sorta hated taking my kids to the pediatrician. Seems like they'd always catch something there!
ReplyDelete=)
My daughter hated getting shots! She would actually faint. It took many yeras fro her to outgrow that. Hope your daughter was OK!

my boys used to take those rubber gloves and blow them up and stick them on their heads while we waited for the doctor to show up :)
ReplyDeleteThe best I can recall, our kiddoes didn't do too much frolicking in the examination room, but they weren't too afraid, either. I guess the reason being is we did not go to the doctor's office unless it was for an annual physical or for routine shots. By the time they were school age, then all I had to do was to explain what I thought they could expect and they were really cool about it. I don't know what I did to deserve such good kiddoes! Thanks for visiting today. BTW, your girls are so precious~ Your newest follower, Cathy
ReplyDeleteThose doctor's offices can be scary. I guess they can be fun too, all depending on the kid. I do like the picture.
ReplyDeletedarling! the look of doom I remember quite well. sweet girls. thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOh my. Laughing really hard here.
ReplyDeleteI remember MY shots and taking my CHILDREN for shots and taking my GRANDCHILDREN for shots.
And I think that expression is the one we all have on our face!
This was such a sweet post and brought back so many memories.
