Then the two nurses came in, one with one needle and the other with two needles!
I unbuttoned his very cute autumn outfit to expose his meaty thighs and they quickly (before I could capture a photo, plus I was consoling him and didn't want to look either!!) stabbed him and injected the vaccinations into his little legs.
There was a bit of a delayed reaction and for that brief second I thought, what a champion of a boy, he's not even going to...and then he did it, he let out with a heart wrenching cry! My voice, my touch, my wanting to cry with him did nothing. Not even the crayola band-aides made him feel better!
I picked him up and still screaming, the nurses suggest I sit and nurse him to soothe him. And low and behold, it worked! Phew!!
