You're up next

Yesterday Jed had to watch the girls and ended up bringing them in to the clinic. Paisley has been acting like her ear hurt, so we had that looked at and got her on some medicine. This is the first ear infection either of my kids have had. We've been very fortunate in that area.

In the drama area.  .   .   .   .   not so much.

I decided since Jayda was there, we might as well get her kindergarten shots done and over with. She even agreed from some weird reason. They had to do three. Two in one arm and one in the other. Jed heard her screams (pre-shot) and came in to assist. WOW. She blew the glass out of the windows. Screamed bloody murder. It took two men to hold her down and the nurse had to do all the dirty work. I wish I had my camera along to get a picture of the look on Paisley's face. She was sitting in a chair with her jug of medicine tucked under her arm and the syringe in her other hand. She was pretty happy to take her medicine and GO!
The nurse said, "it's usually harder on the parents, than the kids." And the doctor took a look at Jayda, and said, "Not so much in this case!"

Thankfully, she has a whole new excitement level for school, now that the anxiety about the shots is over. As do I! I'm just glad Jed got to witness the event. He had no idea how ridiculous she gets in that little office! My explanation of the blood draw episode from last fall, didn't quite paint the picture.

When we were leaving the clinic, she said the Paisley, "You're up next."
