line 'em up

I had taken Landon in for his regular check-up, with concerns about his weight. He seems so skinny to us and Ryan had me put him back on whole milk. Come to find out, he's fine. His growth curve is consistent. No worries. We realized at the appointment that our kids had not had the H1N1 shots, just the seasonal flu. I could have sworn they had, but blame the oversight on me. I get a little nervous about vaccine reactions. Ryan and I don't always see the same on this, but I always default to him and trust his understanding more than mine.

So Landon got 2 shots- one of which was the H1N1.

Ryan came home from work with loaded shots for the last 3 kids.

I gave the FHE lesson, we played the game "don't make me smile", wrapped up the night and herded them all upstairs for baths. I helped undress the kids and am running baths and showers and then Ryan comes up with the shots and before I know it- sheer naked pandemonium breaks out. Ryan's yelling, "Hold the kid!" and the others are wailing and I'm telling them "it's going to be okay" and Emma's screaming and Tanner's like what's going on and Jackson looks like he's going to throw up. They all got the shots successfully. And I am not so sure that we should have paired FHE up with "Get-Current-with-Your-Shot's-Night."

I wonder if they will protest the next FHE?

LOL!!!
That's pretty funny. Sounds like something Doug would do if he could.

Once he brought home some sterile tools and numbing stuff to take out Max's infected tooth...That was pretty exciting, but nothing like trying to give three kids shots...!

okay, i am dying laughing. that is so funny. i guess the same thing would have happened in the doctors office. when my kids got their flu shots all 5 were there and it was crazy, funny and sad all at the same time. i could totally hear you telling the other kids it's okay...it sounds all too familiar :) love it! maybe next weeks FHE is all fun in games and treats!!
