I've Been Shot!

The first time I came close to giving myself a shot was at the hospital. But instead of just going into my skin, I kept getting super close, and then I pulled it away. I did that about 10 times, half of them I was going in my skin. But since I couldn't feel the tiny needle, I would just pull it out again! My mom kept saying, "Gracie! You just went in and pulled it out! Stop doing that!" It was pretty funny. XD. From then on, my parents always did it for me. A couple days after I came home, I got up in the morning and told my mom I wanted to try giving myself the shot for breakfast. "Are you sure?" She asked. "I'm sure," I said. So she handed me the KwikPen. I counted to three, and I did it! We were so excited. At lunch, I was so proud 'cause I could do it myself! So I grabbed the KwikPen, and...I couldn't bring myself to do it! I still don't know why I couldn't. It makes no sense whatsoever XD. For about a month, I couldn't do it myself. I would hold the pen, but my parents had to push my hand to my skin. But about half a week ago, I told my parents, "I think if you just touch my arm when I give myself a shot, I can do it. Only because I'm probably used to you touching me when I go in my skin, so it's worth a try!" I held the KwikPen close to my skin counted to 3, and when my mom touched my arm, I went in. I was really excited! I did that until yesterday night. I told my sister I felt confident enough to do it. And I did do it! This is a huge deal to me and my parents, because we waited so long for me to do it myself again!
