Lauren is fearless. When the nurse asked who would like to go first she quickly raised her hand, "Me!" Then she climbed up on my lap so I could pull down her little pants and followed instructions perfectly. Didn't even flinch. She told Ella it didn't hurt, but Ella was sobbing so loudly I don't think she heard.
I debated letting Ella off this time. Does a person really need a flu shot if it means being completely traumatized? But, the pediatrician did say that we should all get one this year to protect Audrey as much as ourselves. So, I did what I had to do. I hoisted her, kicking and screaming, onto the exam table and held her down with the help of two nurses while she got her shot. And then, the instant it was over, we wiped her tears and giggled about how silly it all was.
