Shots

We had an appointment for vaccinations earlier.
Ida needed a Varicella booster and Parker needed three vaccinations. Adasen had her booster back in March. She did so well that we rewarded her with a special treat... a Webkinz.
We told Ida and Parker that if they did well for their vaccinations, they would get a special treat, too. Parker is normally the worst....kicking, screaming, hitting. He all but promised that he would not fight this time. He is in fact, eleven years old.
Ida was fairly calm for her shot. She cried a little and squirmed but she settled and it was over in an instant.
Parker found out that he only needed one shot. He was very happy to hear that news and so were we.
Greg took him in and they didn't return. I knew something was up but stayed put. Then Greg walked out to me and said, "He's fighting. I need you in here." Oh my goodness! What a nightmare. He was kicking and screaming that he didn't want a shot and that he wasn't getting a shot. There was absolutely no reasoning with him at that point. We held him down. It was not easy. He didn't even flinch when he got the poke. He said it didn't hurt. What the heck? All of that.....and it didn't even hurt.
Oh the joys!
