So Brave

Abby got her flu shot on Monday.  Matt and I were going back and forth on whether or not to do the FluMist or Shot, and I finally decided to let Abby decide.  She decided she would rather get a shot than have them spray stuff up her nose.  She was incredibly brave.  She took Bear with her as a comfort item, and asked that I hold her hand.  I took some candy corn as a surprise treat.

The nurse at our pediatrician is awesome, and very fast at giving shots.  She told Abby to say "Ya, Ya, Ya!" when she counted to 3.  Abby did it and got a funny look on her face when she got the shot, but didn't cry.  I immediately shoved candy corn in her hand as her treat.  She was awesome.  Nurse Janie even gave Bear a band-aid and sticker.  Abby has since shed her band-aid and sticker, but Bear's remain.

oh my gosh... I just love that little girl - bless her heart (and bear, too). To choose a shot over a mist is amazing to me.
