Armed for the Winter



We went out on a wet, miserable morning to get everyone (except Brian) our annual flue shots. The Harford County Health Department sets up clinics in and around the area to get immunizied for the winter flu season. This is always such a pleasant experience for Sophie, who does so well (note sarcasm) with shots. She woke up suprisingly well this morning and knew she was getting her shot, but as we got closer and closer to the actual event, the crying, turned into screaming and then turned into Sophie trying to run away.

Mason on the other hand did really well. When he saw me roll up my sleeve, he started to do the same. Unfortunately, Mason's shot went in his leg. A little crying after and Mason was pacified by a lollipop.

Brian likes to play Russian Roulette and not get the flu shot. Says he never got the flu. Let's hope his current record stands. I don't feel like playing nurse to him this winter.

Thank goodness this ordeal is over with for another year.
