"Rapunzel makes me feel better"

Scarlett had her flu shot after school today. I KNEW it was going to cost me, so we asked her yesterday what she wanted as a prize for getting a shot. She said the big soft Rapunzel from the princess store. So Elle and I trekked it to the mall this morning to get Rapunzel. Scarlett was a little fiesty this afternoon, but with Rapunzel making repeated appearances, she behaved herself. I took her with me to watch me get my flu shot, then she was all over going to her doctor to get hers. She sat on the table and even laid back and watched the nurse do the shot. As soon as it hit she screamed, then whimpered for a good half an hour or so. "It hurts, it HURTS...but 'Punzle makes me feel better". She also required a Barbie bandaid over the boring one from the doctor and had to hold her princess cold pack on her leg for awhile. Oh, and a green sucker.
This poor bunny is too little to know the art of working mommy and daddy...but she's got a good teacher, so I suspect it won't be long she'll be showing off prizes from shots too.
