Stick a needle in my...

It was recommended by the pediatrician to have the kids get flu shots.
I found it very interesting how differently they all handled it. I prepared the girls the night before and assured them that it would be very quick, the needle would go in and it would be over in a few seconds. Emma said that knowing it was going to happen was going to "ruin her WHOLE day at school, and Kailey just looked at me with an "okay if you say so" look in her eyes.

here's how it went down:
K (4 1/2) let out one very loud "OW!!!!!!!"
E (7) yelped a string of "owowowowowOW!'s"
and poor J (15 mo.) who had NO idea what was coming
screamed an ear peircing screeeeeeaaaam! then, I swear, looked at the nurse like
"What the HELL woman?"

Here's what I found the most interesting. Later K was looking worried and I asked her what was the matter.

She said, "Mommy you know how I had a flu shot?"

"mmm hmmm, " I replied.

"Does that mean I have a needle inside my arm?"

Oops, I guess I should have explained that after the needle goes IN, it also comes back OUT again. Is it weird that I think that was sweet?
