First round of allergy shots

Leave a reply

Me, five kids, Dr. office, shots. No one had fun. But we survived.

Well these two who are super great and use to Dr. offices had fun. The other three… not so much.

Kaylee and her EpiPen.

She is such a trooper. And SO tough. Three shots in the back of her arms and no flinching. She made faces and counted down and held her breath. But no flinching and no tears.

You can see she used her fingers to count down while she held her breath for the third shot. We get to do this every week for 6 months to a year. Oh, joy!

1st loose tooth

Kaylee had her first loose tooth, and it was a shark tooth situation. She worked it for a few days and then we ripped that sucker out!

"So I know that the Toof Fairy isn't real, but I still want my money."

"Um… who told you that the Tooth Fairy isn't real?"

"Nobody. I just realize that fairies are pretend. So the Toof Fairy must be pretend too. But Mom I still want money under my pillow. Okay?"

We then had a conversation about how just because she realized that fairies are pretend and that that must mean the Tooth Fairy is pretend other kids have not figured that out. So this info is just for her and not to be shared with others. She was all, "Oh, like how babies are made. It's just for grownups to tell kids. Okay." And that was that.

She got a dollar for her first tooth. She reminded us to put it there.
