But I don't want another shot!!!

Well today was filled with "not such fun moments" because today was shot day...again. Today was our second visit to immunizations. Last time Joey watched Mark and I get our shots but he chose to wait until Amber got home from California to prepare himself for the idea of getting shots. Did I mention he is deathly afraid of needles???? Both my kids are. Infact when Amber had her blood drawn in January for her medical exam portion of the adoption she turned white as a ghost and all but passed out cold. Today wasn't much different. Joey decided he wanted to use the air gun rather then the needle shots so that was great. The only thing is that sometimes they can hurt worse. So after he got his first one, turned white as a ghost and worked so hard to hold back his tears of fear, he announced that he was done. He would come back next week for his next one. Well that wasn't going to work because I will be in Dallas next week and he still needed a total of three more shots. So he braved through the second one while Amber skated out without needing any today. She received all the vacinations she needed last year before her missions trip to Costa Rica. So the next trip to the hospital will be in about three weeks when we all return for at least one more shot. Joey is thrilled because he said he has at least 20 days that he doesn't have to think about shots. He will save it all up for the last day. haha
