Because my daughter is healthy, we can focus on the fun aspects of childhood. I am SO thankful for that, and I don't take that for granted. She's never had any need to fear the doctor or shots, and I wrote a blog post about a fun visit we had when she was just 22-months old to get her flu shot. I'll never forget it. http://thecasualperfectionist.com/2007/10/a-poke-in-the-arm/.
