As you can see...little Gid had his shots so he can go to preschool in the fall. They suggest now, I guess that you just go ahead and get immunization shots before they go to any school. Before Kindergarten is just your last chance to get them done. We decided to get it overwith since Ella is going every 2 months for them...we go to the health department for cheaper shots at 7 dollars a piece rather than 30 at the actual doctors office! Gideon went first so Ella's all out wail wouldn't scare him. I had a long talk with him about it yesterday we even went so far as to get out a sewing needle and giving ourselves a little poke to try and prepare him....he did pretty well with the first 2 pokes for DTap and polio. He just screamed ouch and cried...by the second two...Chicken pox and MMR he all out screamed... i don't think I have ever heard him yell that loud....but as soon as they were done he stopped crying.He said on the way home...."mommy, i didn't do very good because I cried" I said... "Gideon.....you did awesome....everybody cries when they get shots...even mommy and daddy did". By the time we got home he was showing off his bandaid! He was even comforting Ella who recieved 4 shots herself. He was one brave little boy!
