SHOTS

My baby was due for his shots today, poor little guy. I always get anxious just before the needle goes into his little leg. I feel pain before he does. My three year old daughter who is with me can see what is happening. She knows he's going to cry. Her eyebrows furrow and she becomes irritated, so she yells at the nurse, 'he doesn't like shots!' She then turns her head and covers her ears with her hands. 'Mom!" she yells. 'He doesn't like it!' As I explain to my daughter what shots are for and at the same time console my baby, it's a reminder that we're healthy and that I am grateful.
