Jacob was 8 weeks old yesterday - this kid is so resilient, it's amazing. He had 2 shots yesterday, and after hours of napping (no coaxing or shushing required - he was OUT), he's smiling again. He was originally scheduled for FOUR SHOTS (!!) but I put the kabbosh on that - at a mere 2 months of age, 2 shots per visit is quite enough, thank you. It kills me to put him through it - I have to remind myself that we all went through it, though my own experience with it was pretty traumatic - and comfort him as best I can after each visit. My pediatrician had a great idea for when they're older and they know what's coming - have a wrapped present ready for them to open after their shot. I think I'll throw in a scoop of ice cream, too - I'll need it just as much as he will!
