Today, Bennett turned double digits! Bennett is 10 years old! It's hard to wrap my brain around. He's halfway grown.
Today, on Bennett's birthday, I decided to take the children to get flu shots. I hated that it fell on Bennett's birthday but I felt it was important enough for us to get the when we could. Bennett asked to be the first one to get his flu shot, as an example to his sister and to get it over with. He was a rockstar.
Ultimately, the whole crew got their flu shot...despite little sister's brief protest.
Avonlea felt a little better about the process of getting a flu shot today when she learned she could give her doll her own flu shot too. (I guess she reasoned:"if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.") She started by cleaning the area.
We're thankful for Hillcrest Pediatrics for being so kind to let us have a syringe so baby doll could get her shot....
...and a band aid that matched her mama's.
Tears all gone - just smiles and the confidence that we're doing everything we can to keep Bennett healthy!
After flu shots and errands, we celebrated Bennett with a Pizookie from BJ's. Here's to double digits, Bennett! May we find a cure for cystic fibrosis and, maybe one day, even celebrate you in the triple digits! Happy Birthday!!
