So, this is what Jacob would describe happened to him today... that a shot as big as Kentucky came after his leg. In reality, it wasn't that big, but oh my word, he had to get SIX crazy shots. Yes, you saw that right.. SIX shots. And a finger prick, which may have been more traumatic than the six shots. I've never heard him scream like that. He was screaming at the top of his lungs "WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT TO ME?????" "IT HURTS." And he screamed loud for what seemed like 30 minutes. It probably wasn't that long, but it seemed like forever. I had to endure the screaming two separate times - the finger prick at the beginning of the visit, and the six shots at the end of his 4 year check up... Poor baby. And tonight, he's walking around like an old old man with arthritis. It's kind of funny - I hate to laugh at him because I'm sure his legs really are sore, but I have had to turn my face several times. You see, my Jacob is somewhat of a wimp. God love his heart. Seriously - a paper cut puts him on the "disabled list" for at least 2 days. And blood? Oh my goodness. Don't get me started. :-)
Can't believe my baby is already big enough for his 4 year check up at the doctor. My how time flies. I love my little man so much - I really do hate that he was hurt today.
(oh and our pediatrician says my hubby owes me big time for having to do THIS check up all by myself. I agree, don't you????)

That's so funny! Well, not really, but it is! Tucker had the 2nd shot of his flu shot set Friday too. Poor boys!
You deserve HUGE props for going in alone. I am sure it gets more and more difficult to take your little one when it's time for shots. I dread the next round for that reason! I would cry too if they gave me six shots in the legs and a finger prick. I have to look away every time they give me a shot or draw blood at the OB.
