Dr: "Well, since she's starting Kindergarten next year they're going to require her to have these four vaccinations. You could just do a couple now, but some schools want them ALL before enrolling a Kindergartener and you'll just have to make another appointment. He just needs a chicken pox booster"
Little Man: "Oh no, I have to get a shot. Aaaaaah. :("
Teddy Bear: "I'm not scared. Just say Hallelujah. I'm going first."
Nurse: "Let's do him first. Now count to ten. Oh, I beat you, are you done counting?"
Little Man: "That didn't even hurt that much. That's two times in a row I didn't cry for a shot now."
Teddy Bear: "Where are my shots?"
Nurse: "Just a minute honey. Nurse, B, I'm going to need your help in here...
When giving multiple injections they like to do two at a time. Teddy Bear rarely cries for shots. I remember her crying once when she was a baby. In walks Nurse B...
Teddy Bear begins to fidget uncontrollably.
Me: "Do you want her to sit in my lap?"
Nurse A: "Yes, and hold down her arms. Okay, now hold her feet between your legs." Nurse A to Nurse B, "Are you ready? 1, 2, ....
Teddy Bear: "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
Nurse A: "3!
Poke, Poke, Stick, Stick.
Teddy Bear: "Oh my God! Ahhhhhhhw. AhhhhhhhWWWW. Ohhhhhh, noooooooo!.
Me:"I'm soooo sorrry. It's ok, it's ok.
Se went on to scream like this for about 10 minutes.
Me: "Do you want to go to Chipotle?"
Teddy Bear: "Yes."
Me: "Well then you have to calm down because they don't want all that screaming in there."
Teddy Bear: "Ohhhh, my shooooots. Owwwwwww! Hallelujah, Hallelujah."
I was reminded that pain is pain. It's alright to enter the fire afraid. Go in there scared, knowing that God is with you. Keep your eyes on him and not the experiences of others. You may have to call out in agony sometimes, but after you go through it all, you will still come out with the victory. You can't avoid pain entirely. It's coming, but God is still with you you. Hallelujah.

ROFLMAO!!!
Too cute, at least Teddy Bear is walking with him.
LOL @ Teddy Bear!
I tell you kids sometimes have the strongest faith!
Gurl that was too funny!
But what a blessing. Thank U.
i always cried when my boys got shots. so hard to do...
A blessing indeed. When my faith seems to whither, my kids will often say or do something to remind me where my help comes from. @ Deborah, Like I said, Teddy Bear rarely cries. I remember thinking when she went for her first well baby appt., Lord, I can't go through this again. Thank God I didn't have to. When Little Man got shots, I'd often feel faint. At least twice I had to sit on the curb before making it to the car.
You are hilarious, I remember the days of doing the body lock down for my daughter to get shots... It was a definite workout...lol
