Shots are no fun!

This morning before breakfast, Abby was examining a pretend syringe from her doll's doctor kit. She held it up to me and asked "What's this, Mommy?"

I said "It's a shot. Sometimes when you aren't feeling well, you go to the doctor and he will give you a shot to make you feel better." Then I showed her how it worked.

She tried it out and was giving it lots of thought. Suddenly she said "I tell the people I not like shots and I jump down and I run away and I come home to you and then I be happy and I not have boo-boos."

Sometimes 3-year-olds are smarter than we think...even when they use run-on sentences!
