Flu Shots

This morning I had an appointment to get the girls flu shots. It was a great morning. The girls cooperated, and I was convinced that I would end up getting them to school on time. My appointment was at 8:50am and I made it a point to be there a little early. The ped office usually runs on time- thankfully. Both Katie and Allison were ok with the idea they were going to shots. I talked to them about it and everything seemed fine. When the Dr. came in Katie became really nervous and stated clearly that she didn't want the shot. So Allison went first. She was so brave... said ouch and pretty much that was it. She stayed still and was great. Katie on the other hand was really getting anxious. I had to tackle her and very difficultly put her and hold her onto the table while she screamed!!! After the shots were finished she got off the table and threw an absolute temper tantrum. She was so angry. She stomped into the corner of the room, and keep on screeching (anyone who has heard her screech knows exactly what I am talking about) She carried on so that the other Dr. on this morning knocked on the door to see if we were ok or if we needed help. I was horrified. They had both taken in their webkinz to hold on to. After many warnings I took her webkinz away (because of the horrible tantrum) and of course that made things even worse. I had to practically push her down the hall of the office because she was trying to physically get her webkinz back. She finally started to calm down in the car... thankfully because I was on my way to Minnesauke to drop them off. By the time we got to the school she was better and had even apologized for her behavior. I can only imagine what next month will be like when I have to take her back for the flu booster shot!!!!
