My littlest one has reached a major milestone... He's 1! He might not be able to walk yet, but boy can he dance! He wiggles, bobs and shimmies to any song, cartoon, commercial or toy! It's the melt my heart, cutest sight. And you can bet we're grabbing the video camera each time he comes up with a new move!
Little bummed today. This afternoon I'll be marching him into his doctor's office for his Wellness appointment and Shots! There are so many shots in the first 18 months. The tears, the yelling, the look of betrayal... It's too much to bare! But I'll do it... I'll go through it, reminding myself along the way that it's important for his health, that he won't remember it, and as my husband puts it, "We all go through it."
I know we do. Twenty five years later and I'm still trying to forget about the shot in my leg that hit the muscle and left me limping for a week! Ah yes we've all taken this painful passage. Too bad for my little one he's only part way through the journey with four more in store later today... poor kid doesn't know what he's in for.
A few tips, you may already know, from doctors I've talked to... when taking your child for shots, remain calm. Our kids pick up on our temperament. Ask your doctor about anesthetic creams that numb the skin (why they don't just hand these out is beyond me). Not sure how well the numbing cream could handle an area getting multiple shots at once. A small dose of tylenol before the shots will help your child to relax. Wish me luck!
