i took the kids to the doctor's office today. they were just getting check ups and andrew got two shots. they said that he's done 'til he's twelve. emmy will need some before she goes to school next year. andrew stayed still on the table and didn't cry when he got the shots. he said they really hurt, but he was tough. when the two nurses left i heard the one saying to the other that she thought he did really well. i'm glad that he is brave and can handle pain well. of course, he knew what to expect. he knew that he was getting shots and he knew that they would hurt. i'd been telling him earlier. i thought that maybe they both needed them, but emmy was so glad not to.
andrew weighs 49 pounds and is 45 inches tall. emmy weighs 25 pounds and is 37 inches tall

Wow that's great. I tricked Koen and Eades into believing they aren't afraid of shots so they don't mind them. Dougan wants to run away though every time.
I told my kids - This is gonna hurt...like a bee sting. but if you move, it hurts more. if you cry or tense up, it hurts more. However, if you look away and breathe slowly and think of something else, like counting or rhymes or a song, then it will be ok. They all stilled cried. guess they are like me :)
at least no screaming. hehehe.
I would give the kids a dose of Tylenol before the shot to help with the pain immediately. They all cried.
I am 5'5" and weigh.....
Oh, and it is okay to cry for a shot or even scream as long as they don't move. Cause then they gang up on you and hold you down and you try to break free and then they all get mad at you and call for reinforcements... atleast that is what they did to me.
