Amelia: The Kindergarten Shot Rockstar

I mean seriously, look at that cute shot face!

I have one child who is a joy to take to get shots. She is a joy because she doesn't freak out, isn't ridiculous and does not embarrass me. Not (cough cough) all my (cough cough) kids (coughOLDEST) are so cooperative. I registered Amelia for kindergarten and we celebrated after in her love language which is respectively stuffed animals and ice cream.
Waiting for her turn.
I don't even have to bribe her to be good
Realizing that the special place is Build a Bear
Max kept picking out animals from the bin and saying "No dat not wight



Her new furry friend aptly named "Furry Friend" is ready for her new home

My baby CAN.NOT go to Kindergarten. Please say it isn't so. Because if she is going to Kindergarten, that means Sarah is going to Kindergarten also. Boo-hoo!

Wow, you are lucky! When I took Ellie for shots, it took 4 people to hold her down and 1 to give the shots!

That was shear drama for Margaret to see. She cried for, well she is still crying! Help! I was trying to show her that she got a bear afterwards...all was well!

Through shouts and tears she said, "Can I get a bear too, now?"

Seriously??
It also helped that her Grandma gave her the shots !

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...
