Thank God..!! we are done with the 2 needles that Chloe needed before going to school. We want to think that we are that kinda modern parents… that let the kid know what to expect..and why we are doing certain things. In other words.. we like the “reasoning” part of bringing our kid up.

So 1.5 weeks before the needles.. we started painting the scenario to her.. and explaining to her.. why she had to have it.. and how many days more. Of course, she would bargain.. and she didn’t liked it.. but she didn’t kicked up a big fuss either… because we just didn’t pushed it.. we went with the flow.. and we tried to give her examples of other kids she knows that had it done.

The day arrived.. and yes.. she did puked after the needles .. and there was some crying.. but i really think she did very well. The crying didn’t last for more than a min and another minute of puking.. and she was calmed down.. and she played with the toys.. and all. More info on the needles on my health blog and why i chose the public nurse over the family doctor.. and Chloe’s version of her experience on her own blog.
