- Ding!

Ding!

Hop on board!

Wait a second.

Are we going to the doctor's office for real, or pretend?

- For real.

Remember?

Today Dr. Anna will give you a check-up, and she's going to give you a shot.

- A shot?

I don't want to get a shot.

Next stop, my bedroom!

Ding!

Ding!

Have you ever had a shot?

(footsteps) - Oh, my little Daniel.

Can we talk about this?

- Grr, I don't want to get a shot.

I'm scared.

Why am I getting one?

- Well, because a shot is medicine, and medicine helps you feel better when you're sick.

- But I'm not sick.

- You're right.

This type of medicine can keep you from getting sick.

- Oh.

But, can't I just drink the medicine?

- Well, sometimes you do drink medicine, that's true, but this medicine works better as a shot.

- Oh.

Will it hurt?

- Well, yes, but only for a little bit, and then it'll be over.

Here's your pretend doctor kit with a toy shot you can play with.

You know what I do when I get a shot?

- You get shots too?

- Oh, yes, sometimes even grownups get shots.

When I get a shot, I close my eyes and think about something that makes me happy, like the beach with you.

(gull calling) - That makes you feel happy?

- It does.

And when I think of something that makes me happy, it helps me feel less scared.

♫Close your eyes and think of something happy♫ -♫Close your eyes and think of something happy♫ Something happy... Hmm... (Trolley dings.)

Trolley!

Trolley makes me happy.

I'm thinking about riding on Trolley through the neighborhood.

Ding!

Ding!

- Do you feel a little less scared?

- Hmm, I do.

- You know what might also make you feel better?

Do you want to pretend to be the doctor and give me a shot?

- Oh, OK.

I'm Dr. Daniel.

Where should I give you a shot?

- Right here.

- Are you ready for your shot?

- Hmm, I'm going to close my eyes and think of something happy, like the beach with Daniel.

♫Close your eyes and think of something happy♫ OK, that's it.

- It'll be over that fast?

- Yes, it will.

- That's good.

Did it hurt?

- Mm, just a little bit, but now it's over.

- Phew.
