ouch

Today was Justin's 5 year check up.  A shot was immenent and he knew it.  I thought he would only be getting a flu shot.  I was wrong - he actually needed 2 vaccines.  Bummer.  We had been talking about how shots are not a big deal, they don't really hurt, it is just the anxiety over them that is the bummer.  He wasn't buying it - I hated that he was worried, I understood why though.  We headed to his appointment.  He got weighed:   37.8 pounds (29% percentile).  He got measured: 43 inches (69th percentile).  He got three shots, 2 in one thigh, one in the other.  It sucked!  I hated seeing him so freaked out and scared. 


After the appointment I got duped into a trip to Toys R Us for legos.  We also went to Freddies for a few last minute Thanksgiving items, including these flowers.  Later in the evening I could tell Justin's legs were hurting from his injections.  He was limping, he had those - sore, punched in the leg - legs.  Amanda was on the train coming down from Seattle and he was eager to go to the train station and pick her up.  As we walked from the car to the station I could have sworn that it was snowing.  I think I was just imagining things though.
