A Not So Fun Day

I went to the doctor with Becky, Jonah and Gracie on Tuesday. Jonah is starting kindergarten in the fall and needed four immunizations. Gracie only needed one immunization.

They had a good time playing in the waiting room. But when they called them to go back for their appointment Jonah looked apprehensive. Gracie didn't have a clue and was still laughing. She really put on a show for the Dr. He announced she had passed her tests..he could tell she was very social.

Jonah was so good for the first part of the doctor's visit being really still while the dr checked him over. When the doctor asked him to take a deep breathe and let it out, he gladly did it and looked so proud of himself. But he knew he was going to get a shot and kept asking the doctor about it. He told him the nurse would give him the shots.

Then the nurse came in. Dum dee dum dum....she had four syringes and laid them on the examination table next to Jonah. Isn't that an awful thing to do! I wanted to cry myself. Bless his heart, he told her he really really didn't like shots and started crying. I was glad that I had to take Gracie out of the room before I started crying myself.

I could hear him crying and saying it hurt.

Then it was Gracie's turn. The good news was she didn't know what to expect. So, before she knew what was going on the shot was over.

I enjoy being with Jonah & Gracie, but today I would rather have been somewhere else!!
