Today I took Kaylen and Colton for their 4-year and 2-month well visits at their doctor's office.
Kaylen was very worried about getting shots. She got her flu shot earlier in the month (actually on her birthday). She did very good with it, not even any tears, but was quite apprehensive about going today. Eric had been talking with the kids about the swine flu, that it came from pigs, and that there will be a "shot" for it. While driving to the doctor today, Kaylen asked, "Will I get a shot from the pig?" It took me a little bit to figure it out, but she was worried about the swine flu vaccine that Eric had talked about with the kids.
The doctor says both kids are doing great. Kaylen is average in all areas - height and weight. Colton is above average with everything, especially with height.
An hour and a half later, we walked out of the office with 11 bandaids (4 for Kaylen's shots, 2 for Colton's shots, and 1 for my flu shot), 2 stickers, one sleeping baby, and one 4-year old who dislikes doctor appointments but whose hearing and vision are good.

Tell your kids that Uncle John is working on getting the pig shot ready for them.
