In order to be prepared for Kindergarten registration this week, we had to get Adelyn another round of shots. She was so brave. She watched them, and wimpered, but never cried. She got a princess PEZ dispenser for being such a brave girl.
Then it was Joey's turn. Here's the play-by-play:
First shot, he starts screaming his head off. Still one shot to go.
Adelyn trips/faints (we're still not sure) and lands on corner cabinet.
Nurse gives Joey other shot, tosses the needles somewhere in the room, and runs to get doctor.
I hold screaming baby while trying to wake up Adelyn, she's knocked out completely.
Doctor scoops up Adelyn and wakes her up. One nurse takes screaming baby from me, and another cleans up the needles so I can talk with Adelyn.
Adelyn still remembers her name, and how old she is so they stick on an ice pack and monitor her while we watch High School Musical.
Skip all planned errands and take her to Panda Express where she asks for a sandwich (we've been to Panda a million times, and she knows they don't sell sandwiches). I'm a little worried she's delusional, but it all turns out okay in the end.
Oh. It was so scary. I was so worried for much of the day. Her goose bump before the picture was much larger, but I wasn't thinking of pictures at that point. I guess everyone takes a turn at a hard knock every now and again. It will never get easy for me.
and after Mike saw how much fun I was having, here is his...
