SHOTS

2 weeks ago Zoey accompanied me to the health care center tot get my yellow fever shot. Is this a suitable activity for a 3 year old? In our case it was! Zoey is fascinated by anything medical, especially doctors (lucky me!-) The outing had a double function, as Zoey was due te receive her 4-year vaccinations a week later, I figured I'd show her that "big girls don't have to be scared of shots".
Mission accomplished! Mommy didn't cry :-), Zoey got to help the nurse give me a bandaid and a week later my brave daughter waited for her check up patiently, and got her shot without so much as a peep! I was one proud mommy!! And Zoey was one proud pre-schooler, with a huge Pooh bandaid on her arm....(check her expression in the picture above- post to follow!!)
She did well, the doctor was pleased, everything fine, EXCEPT that she has to redo the eye exam, because her left eye wasn't up to the minimum standard. The big question is, is that due to tiredness or is it her vision....we'll find out in november, when she redoes her eye exam...!
Official "consultatie bureau" years are over, further follow up continues at a lesser frequency through school....!
Wow, do (almost) 4 years fly!
