We had a bit of a wait today because the doctor was overbooked for some reason. It was much harder to wait with two kids.
Janie actually talked to the doctor today and got a clean bill of health.
Peanut was still considered “robust” and got his hemoglobin checked – his iron levels are a bit low, just like his sister was at his age. Time to feed him more meat!!
Janie got a shot in both arms and was a trooper. No tears and handled the sore arm in the afternoon like a champ. Peanut got a shot in the thigh and only cried for a second when the nurse pushed the liquid into his leg.
