Shelby had her 6 month check up today. She is textbook perfect, 75% in everything, 16+ oz. and 25.75". She got 3 vaccine's today plus the flu vaccine. Her cry was so strong that she didn't even breathe during the 2nd set of shots in her little, michelin legs. I took Harlan with me and Shelby as he thought he was just along for the ride and avoiding going to daycare. He had NO idea that he was going to get a shot. Sneaky mom I am, you have to try any tactic to cause the least drama as possible. The nurse told Harlan to drop his drawers and we sat him on the table. I still don't think he had a clue what was going on. I think he thought they were just going to take a look at his "itchy stuff" (which is his ezcema). Then the nurse instructed me to hold his hands, she told him to look at me but at that point, he figured it out! The shot was coming and there was no escape. He screamed! After it was done, I scooped him up as he was crying while Shelby gave me the dirtiest look because I was holding him instead of her. I felt horrible that I had to be sneaky. He will never trust me again! I think from this point on, he will not complain about going to daycare.
