"i got 3 shots"

the girls and i ventured to the doctor for their 4 and 2 year check ups. it took quite a while to get all of the necessary procedures out of the way. hana's felt very much like an adult physical. they checked her height, weight, eyes, and hearing. she had to pee in a cup (thankfully they gave us the "hat" to put in the potty to assist us). they also asked hana various colors and had her draw a circle and square and identify which (of 2 ) lines were longer. both girls donned hospital gowns which made them look SO grown up. everything went well. both girls are very healthy and still in the 5-10% in height and weight. they no longer say anything about this, i guess they have just accepted that they are small. hana weighed in at a whopping 30 pounds and brooke weighed in at 22 (which was hana's exact 2 year old weight). everything was fine until he said the dreaded words "hana needs a few more vaccinations"... 3 to be exact. i was not prepared for her to have shots at this visit... and neither was she! she cried the whole time. i could see the pain on her face. it made me a little teary (something that had not happened since her 3 month shots). i felt very sorry for her. the rest of the visit if anyone looked at her, she would say through tears "i got 3 (holding 3 fingers) shots"...

ahh got to love those well check-ups.
