Today we went into the Dr. to flu shots for the girls. Girl #3 was the only one young enough for the Swine flu shot so she got 2. I thought I was getting the Flu shot so I told the girls I would get mine first to show them that if you are calm then it doesn't hurt. When we got there I was told they were out of adult shots so the girls were on there own.
As soon as we got to the room Girl#2 started complaining and I knew we were in for it. When it was her turn she started to freak out. I swear her eyes were going to pop out of her head she was screaming so hard. She was pleading with me. I knew that if she calmed down it would not be as bad. I could not console her so I just grabbed her and held her tight. I got her to stop screaming and take a breath right before the shot came and then she looked at me and I asked her if it hurt and she said"no" She didn't even feel it.
After the band aide was applied she was fine. As we left a few of the workers said"oh we heard the baby screaming" I could only laugh and say it was not her but her #2. She then started to get some "sympathy" from other people. They were amused by her dramatics. The nurse asked her if she needed an ice pack and of course that was needed. I am not sure if the arm will have to be removed from all her pain. haha
(Please ignore the big shadow on the side. I am learning my new camera. I may have to "recreate" this picture again)
Girl #1 didn't even flinch and #3 was fine after she got the Binky. I may have to go cuddle the poor little girl with the "hurt" arm. She is so dramatic.

Sounds like a drama queen. I've got one myself.
Tessa flipped her lid when she got her Kinder shots. I'm not looking forward to her reaction to the flu shot.
