no tears

Kooka had to get her kindergarten shots today. She dressed in her best "tough girl clothes," and even though she was very nervous - she was a total rockstar! No crying at all! (though there were some watery eyes while she was anticipating them). She got three shots two in the left leg - one in the right. She got to pick her own cool bandaids (shown off in this photo) plus one lollipop for each shot. She also aced her eye exam 16/20 vision - which is apparently the same ratio superheroes have. And she is in the 93rd percentile for her height. Punk says she must be part giant - Kooka says she's part supermodel. Anyhow, by the time she finished three lollipops she had no interest in the ice cream I had promised, so after a quick visit to Pa and Gram, she chose to have mac&cheese at Green Mill.

I guess the day turned out alright - except the part about the policeman stealing our dog, and the fact that Punk lost Whispers the elephant, and the computer breaking, and a few other minor things that could have gone just a bit better . . . .

And actually as of this writing, we know where Whispers is - not with us - but he's safe. Riley is back home, even though the girl at the pound admits that the policeman probably coerced her into his car while she was right in front of our house, and the computer is fixed now - we could have bigger probems.
