OUCH!! Shots hurt but lollipops make them better!

Today I had to go to the travel medical clinic here in Toronto to get a bunch of shots for when I go travelling and they gave me FOUR of them!! I had to get the flu shot and polio and yellow fever and something else. I hate shots because they hurt and don't feel good and needles are scary! I was disappointed too because I thought that the yellow fever one would be really bright yellow but it wasn't at all. It was just cloudy and not a neat color.


The doctor said that before we started the shots that he had a treat. He had a big container of lollipops and he said that I could choose one!!! I didn't even have to ask or anything, he just offered. I chose a red one which was super yummy. The doctor said that having sugar when you get shots is a good thing. I think that having sugar anytime is a great thing!! And Daddy Denis told me that he has LIFESAVER ice cream for later!! YAY!!!!! Anyway, then, it was time for the mean shots. I tried to be really brave and didn't cry though I did say "OUCH!!" for three of them. He gave me a second lollipop for after and it was all done!! I love travelling to different parts of the world but getting these mean shots are not fun at all. I think that they should make the shots into candy instead so they'd be wonderful. What do you think?


Anyway, I was of course padded during my visit to the clinic and it was a good thing too because I had to pee right when the nurse called me to go get my shots and if I had to go to the washroom everyone would have had to wait or I might have lost my place or someone else might have eaten my red lollipop. Being padded is the BEST way to be!!
