Needles and No Needles

Okay so I hmm'd and hah'd over whether or not to get the H1N1 vaccination for the boys. In the end I decided to do it. Last month the boys had their first shot, both boys needed to be pinned down for the needles. Mr O even tried to run away I had to chase him and catch him.

This time I prepped Mr O more. I told him he was lucky as he only needed to get one needle. Baby K and I both had to have two. He seemed ready. When we got there I went first so that I could show the boys that it was no big deal. Mr O was supposed to go next but he was near tears and asked if Baby K could go first. Mr O was getting really worked up about it and then I overheard two nurses talking about how for the healthy kids ages 3 and up only one vaccination was required. So Mr O was off the hook! I honestly don't think I have ever seen him look so happy. He was grinning from ear to ear. It almost brought tears to my eyes. lol.

Baby K still had to get his needles though poor little guy. He was not a fan although he does not seem bothered by them at all now. My arm is bothering me a little bit but not too bad. Good night.

Today is the day...

... that my baby turns four! I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone. Today we are just chilling out and enjoying our time together as a family. We'll take the kids to the playplace at McDonalds for lunch. Then later we are going to have Grama & Grampa over for Owen's favorite dinner - spaghetti and meatballs! Happy Birthday Dude! We love you.
