No Tears

Today was Riley's 4 year check up with her Pediatrician. The much dreaded booster shots were due and needless to say, Riley was not thrilled about it at all!!!

She had a great check up with her doctor as always. She is finally in the 50% in height(39 3/4 in.) and 25 % in weight(32 lbs). Then the "S" word came up for discussion and Riley's reaction wasn't as bubbly as it had been in the beginning. She was taking it in stride and I promised her that she would get a treat for every shot she received today to help ease her anxiety.

Apparently, it worked because she actually watched the nurse inject the needles in her thighs and didn't even cry...not even a whimper!! Her only reaction when it was all said and done was, "that hurt".

What a big girl!! I am so proud of her!

It is hard to believe Riley is 4!! Way to go to her for being so brave for her check-up too! Hoping Alex handles his appointments the same way:)
