Thank you, Miss Lady!

Lily had her flu shot today. I was prepared for both of us to be crying. We had to get it at CVS this year because her pediatrician is still out of the vaccine for her age group. We got there and were fifth in line, so I knew we'd be waiting a good 20 min at least. We bought some gummy worms at the suggestion of a friend, which turned out to be a lifesaving idea. We were having fun, playing with our gummies, pretending they were Mommies and babies. The nurse called our name, and we headed in the sterile room. The nurse had already given Alfred and me our flu shots, so she knew our little family by now. I kept Lily focused on the gummy worm family while the nurse got the needle ready. While we were playing, the nurse just quickly lifted Lily's shorts on her right leg, cleaned it quickly, and like lightening she got that needle in and out! Lily didn't even know what happened. She looked at the nurse kinda funny, like, what are you doing with my leg, lady? But never a peep, never a hint of hurt, not a sob of sadness. She just went back to eating her gummy worms! As we're leaving, she says "Thank you, Miss Lady!" and off we went. What a truly wonderful experience - thanks Lady Nurse at CVS! :)
