All grown up

Not so fast ate Maisie, I will surely miss my baby. Well, whether I liked it or not she will grow up. I just hope she'll grow up to be a responsible and everything nice young lady, with God's help.

This is taken just yesterday (April 7, 2013) outside San Pablo Church Davao City Philippines.

Backward to April 5, 2013, the night before our pediatrician's visit. Jaden will have he own dose of vaccine. I don't have any problem with Jaden because even if she resists the injection, she is left with no choice but just to accept the pain of being injected with a vaccine. Minutes after crying due to the sting, she keeps quiet and that's just about it. Maisie is another story. She has one booster vaccine left and it was supposed to be last month but she bartered with mama. We made a deal and she was out of the injection room. But I was thinking how long are we going to make a deal? She has to be injected sooner or later so I have to make it sooner so as not to prolong her agony. Thus, our little talk that night.

When I told her she's going to have her injection, she cried. I think she will not stop crying until I tell her she's not having any injection. So I just told her, if we will forgo the injection tomorrow, she's going to have it anyway whether she likes it or not. Ate Maisie, you'll have to decide when. If not tomorrow then next month, if not next month then the month after. The thing is you are going to have it. And she stopped crying. My thoughts were that she thought we agreed she's going to have the injection next month.

At one of the clinics of San Pedro Hospital, Maisie and Jaden were goffing around.

Suddenly, to my surprise Maisie said, Mama I'm going to have my injection today right? My happiness soared. Thank God I don't have to fight with her regarding the injection. Which is why, with her pose and sign of maturity regarding her injection, I can say that she's grown up. Too fast for me though. They are still my babies, Maisie and Jaden.
