On Monday, I took Franny to the doctor for her flu mist--a much more humane alternative to the dreaded flu vaccine. While painless, I still expected the process to be a bit of a challenge. Franny communicates quite clearly--not to mention loudly--regarding her feelings about these kind of things. But, while she did wrinkle her brow and pull her head back a bit, she didn't resist and allowed the nurse to give her the mist in both sides of her nose. I was so relieved and impressed with Franny's handling of the situation, that I treated Franny to a "hot-chocolate milk" as she calls it, and a Marionberry muffin from Starbucks. Although it took her all day to finish the muffin, and a couple of hours to finish her hot chocolate, there was no question that she was pleased. She would take a sip, set it down next to my coffee, give me a quick grin, and be off again. And, she was also quite pleased with the Thomas the Train sticker they gave her.
