A Poke Here, A Poke There

One more thing to cross off the list before heading to school was Ruth getting her 5 year shots.  For some strange reason, Ruth couldn't wait to get her shots and kept asking when she was going.  The day finally came.  She was a Rock Star for getting 3 shots in her legs with only a few tears but no screaming for this girl.  We will have to go back next week to have 2 more shots.  They didn't have them in at the time which is probably best.   Can't imagine having 5 shots at once. 

Ruth also had blood drawn from her arm which didn't even seem to bother her at all.  She has been complaining her tummy hurts often but never gets sick so I thought maybe I should have her tested for celiac.  She wasn't tested when I tested the other 3 children 7 years ago when I was diagnosed and thought maybe her tummy troubles were because of her diet.  Well, luckily the test was negative, but still don't know why her "waist hurts". 

Since Ruth did so well at the doctor's office, I stopped at McDonald's to have some ice cream and to play.
