Our Little Trooper

Kaylynn had her shots today. I told her to take a good look at the nurses face as it wasn't mommy doing it. One second peace, joy, smiles and laughter... the next pain, tears and sorrow. She actually has long since forgotten it, but mom holds onto the torment of the moment.

Yeah, I am with you. I hate taking my kids in for shots. Luckily, Cole is done until he is 4but Sage has a long road ahead of her. Like you said, I think it is worse on me than it is them.

Brian is working with kids at school, you know, so I insisted that he get a pneumonia shot and a pertusis shot (remember when Bishop Hillman almost died when he caught pertusis a couple years ago?) - and the school thru in a flu shot. All on the same day .

Not a happy camper... it brought back lots of memories of the kids. He didn't scream at the shot giver, but the complaining went on for days.
