Yesterday I took our oldest, Nora, to her annual doctor's appointment and what this one "special" was she got 4 shots--yes 4 total. So, leading up to her appointment we didn't say anything about the shots intentionally to not scare her. When we arrived at the office and the nurse checked her out and we were waiting for the doctor I started talking to her about the shots and what they were going to do and that she would feel a "pinch" in her arm. Well, the time came and the nurse brought in a tray with four needles and my heart was pounding and at the same time trying to help keep Nora calm. The nurse jumped right in and gave her two in one arm and two in the other and Nora was amazing...no crying, no wimpering it was awesome. She was so brave and strong and I was very proud of her.
After we left the doctor's office we headed for a celebration dinner at McDonalds and then off to the Zoo Lights for a daddy-daughter date night. We had so much fun looking at all of the lights and walking around the zoo. I am a very proud daddy of Nora, and we had a great date night together!
What are some of your stories of how your kids have made you proud by showing their strength and courage?

The last time I gave Mara a spankin she told me after it was over, "I used my thinker, and thought I can be really brave and told myself I wasn't going to cry...and I didn't."
Either she is really brave and tough, or I'm a pansy when it comes to spankings!...
