We Love Shots

I took Lydia, Joel and Jude to the pediatrician's office today. All three children needed one immunization each. Lydia was first. She didn't cry when she got her shot and she got a sucker when she was done. After witnessing his sister's good fortune, Jude quickly lifted his sleeve so that he could get his shot, too. Alas, it was Joel's turn next. Joel didn't cry when he got poked and then he got a sucker. By this time, Jude was lifting up his sleeve, making monkey noises and jumping up and down. Finally, Jude got his chance. He whimpered a bit when the shot went into his arm, but quickly recovered when he got his long-awaited sucker. The doctor's staff were all quite impressed. What can I say-- my kids love shots.
