Today was a dreaded day for me... It was time for my oldest two to be immunized. (I dreaded it so bad that I took my Dad with me and left Briggs with the baby sitter). I am a "natural" kind of Mommy. I do like immunizations but I think they give the babies too many too soon. I have taken the "gradual immunization" approach. Kohen is up to date on his immunizations, he has had some from his pediatrician in TN and some from the military (you know where you take a number and get in line) I decided to go ahead and get his kindergarten immunizations since heaven only knows what is going to happen to healthcare after the election. He did as expected... a little screaming... a little crying, but was happy as soon as Popsie gave him a piece if gum. And then there is Landin Claire... she is my Amish baby. Landin Claire is "fhree" (3)... born at home... in the water... and probably didn't have an immunization until she was 9 months old. No Hep B at birth...nothing. So today I went in not knowing where she stood as far as being "up to date". I was happy to find out that after today she wouldn't need anything until kindergarten when she is 6 :). That made this mommy verrrry happy. Well needless to say Landin Claire did exactly like I thought she would... Got mad...Screamed....Cried... and didn't stop crying for about 15 minutes. She finally mustarded a smile once the girls gave her some princess stickers...lol. Anyway I guess all-in-all she did good and this Mommy is glad it is over.
