vaccination…

When they made vaccines available for ~8 year olds, there was little doubt Brianna would also be vaccinated. How do you approach a kid about getting a shot? As it turns out we just ask. Mem was unsure, though with a brief hesitation she responded “yes”.

The following Saturday we drove to the pediatricians office as scheduled. With little fanfare or delay, she quietly waited her turn and got her shot - no crying, no complaint, done! On the way home we stopped at the Candy Kitchen - think the candy bars, (“I want a clark bar”), lollipops, candies, sundaes, milk shakes, cones - the kind we had when we were growing up. Breakast!

We sat outside and ate our ice cream. I took some pictures. This one in the parking lot - it looked as calm and pleasant as I think we both felt. That’s love.
