For some reason I have not been on the ball about getting Riley and Owen their immunizations. Riley had some right before Owen was born, but since then NOTHING. Owen has not had any...With Riley starting school in the fall I thought it was time...I also thought it was time for Owen to start his.
Riley needed to have her kindergarten check up anyways so I made the appointment and brought them in. I tried to explain that they would have to get shots, I am not one of those Moms who wait until they nurse brings in the needle. When it came time for the shots Riley went first - I think this was my only mistake. She was so upset and I could not comfort her because Owen was next. After he heard Riley scream all hell broke loose - he was screaming bloody murder and I it took all my strength to hold his legs down so the nurse could give him his shots...
I am glad it is all over..Until July when I have to take them back in for more...
Derrick just came along for the ride, and was pretty good. The only problem I ever have with him is that he wants to ask Dr. Fiendt a million questions. Last time we came in he asked her what glucose was...What the heck?! She had to explain it in "doctor" terms. She looked at him and said, "you ask really hard questions and the way you ask I have to give you answers that are kind of confusing."
I hope that he always has in inquiring mind and that if he has a question he will ask it, no matter how hard, silly, or BIG the question is!
Right across the road from our pediatrician office is my VERY. FAVORITE. Cupcake shop, the Sweet Tooth Fairy. I promised the kids that if they were good we could go and get a cupcake. YUM.
