Yesterday Caroline and Ali had their 7 year old and 4 year old well checks. Ali unfortunately had to also get her immunization shots and a blood draw. Chris and I have been talking to her about it, watching Daniel tiger gets a shot and practicing at home...... She was fine until it came time for the shot- It was rough and she fought us.
Then we had to go down stairs and get a blood draw. Chris took Ali back and I stayed with Caroline. We could see Ali crying through the glass and them holding her down. Caroline started bawling and begged me to make them stop hurting her. She kept saying "Can they have my blood?!?" At one point I had to hold Caroline because I thought she was going to run in there and rescue her. It broke my heart!
After the Well Check order returned and we went to Chick Fila. Ali had a light blue wrap around her elbow and the bend in her arm. She was really proud of it and wouldn't let Chris or I take it off. She kept calling it her cast. Several people commented on it and she was glad to retell the story over and over again adding that she was really brave to have a hole in her arm.
From this week:
Caroline contracted the flu on Thursday. She was fine for her valentine party but when Chris picked her up she was burning up so I took her to the clinic. They asked if she had been around flu.... I'm pretty sure every kid in her class has had it.
Caroline didn't leave the house until school on Tuesday morning and was feeling so much better. She had the Flu shot back in October. The doctor said she would get over it faster but it still took her a full 5 days to feel better.
Chris and I did our best to keep Ali away: She went to a friend's birthday party and I took her to sell Caroline's girls scout cookies at a booth in front of Home Depot. She helped me clean but mostly had to stay in the basement. She really wanted to sleep with Caroline.
Caroline entertained herself with a lot of movies and she took pictures of random things. I have about 30 pictures of Pip looking annoyed. We also finished a 150 piece puzzle.
Caroline was feeling better Monday night and I know both girls were ready to have their buddy back!
