strong girls

I have discovered that my oldest two granddaughters are both very strong - albeit in very different ways. Recently, at their four-year-old check-ups they both received the appropriate immunizations.

Caroline wanted to impress her mother with her "big girl" attitude. She insisted that she was not going to cry, she was WAY too strong for that. She stood, stoic, received her shots and exclaimed "it really didn't hurt."

Mabel, on the other hand, was more interested in impressing us with her physical strength. Since she is quite aware the shots do, indeed hurt, she kicked so hard when the nurse tried to inject them that she bent the needle, forcing it out. That girl is STRONG! But she ended up getting the shot twice.

I LOVE these girls!

hp Pavillion dv4-2167sb

Hi! I am posting from my new hp laptop. I used my fingerprint scanner to log into blogger. This nifty device is loaded with an Intel core i3-330M processor 2.13 GHz, with 4 GB memory, microphone and webcam built in, with a 14" screen. Wow!! And it comes with Windows 7 Professional, so I can use it at the office. I didn't know computers could be so fun!!
