Jared and I took Makenzie to her annual check-up at the Doctors a few Thursday's ago. This marks the first time she fully understood what SHOT means. We didn't tell her b/c we wanted to be able to actually get her into the doctors office. This by no means was her first shot; however, it is the first time she is aware of what it is and knows that it isn't a comfortable feeling.
The nurses gave her a hearing and eye test, weighed her and measured her height. She got a good bill of health from the Doctor and then... the nurse comes in with TWO shots. She proceeds to say to Makenzie "Where would you like these? In the arm or the leg?" Makenzie said "Well, what is it?" At this point Makenzie is sitting on the exam table. The nurse says "Shots". Makenzie said "Oh, no thank you. I don't want a shot." and JUMPS off the table. Ugh, poor girl... She took them in the arm. : (
EYE TEST
HEARING TEST
This is the nurse telling Makenzie that she is getting a shot (right before she leaps off the table).
Oh what devistation. She was so upset with Jared and I. She screamed the whole way out of the office. "I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME WITH YOU!!!" As we got outside and attempted to calm her down she suddenly stopped crying, looked at us and said "Stupid nurse!" We do NOT condone that talk; however due to the circumstance and the pure shock of her saying it... both Jared and I bursted out laughing. Needless to say, getting her to the doctors office from here out is going to be a huge task.

Oh poor Makenzie!! The last time I took Harley to get her shots she actually took it like a pro and was so proud of herself for not crying. Now when I took her to get her ears pierced a couple months ago and I told her it was just like getting the shots, she was all for it until the first ear ring went in and then the whole dag on store heard that child scream bloody murder, LOL!!!
I just LOVE her personality... too freaking funny! She's definitely going to always have people laughing and smiling :)
