Poor Josh!
He had his two-month doctor appointment yesterday and needed four shots. That's four *individual* shots -- not combined all into one. The nurse was very quick about it though; as soon as she got one shot in she switched to the next and got it in quickly. Joshua didn't react for the first two, but by the third he had caught on to what was happening. And boy, he was NOT happy.
He cried pretty hard for a while, but calmed down after a few minutes. He still looked scared and sore the whole drive home. Last night he was fussy more than usually. The first time we changed his diaper he was angry! I don't know if he thought he'd get more shots or what. I've never heard the poor guy cry so hard. The look in his eyes looked like pure terror.
We managed to calm him down and gave him some more Tylenol. He slept well and is in better spirits this morning.

nothing more heart breaking for a parent than a child's first shots. I remember William's shots and I wanted to clock the nurse. Lucky most kids can take the first couple pretty well. We almost always forgot to give him tylenol before his appointment which made us feel like bad parents.
The bigger question is how did Paula do?
I am sore ... finally warm, and now -- insult to injury, you're changing me! That's it! My bad day is yours!
