Today was the day we planned to have all three boys getting their flu shots at the clinic.  Michelle was also bringing Mckayla and Marcus in for theirs, so I asked Stuart to pick up the boys and meet me at the Campbell office the same time as Michelle was to arrive.  Since we are employees there, they allowed us to cut through the line a bit and were sent directly to the family injection room.  The wait was not long, but Stuart did not really like the set up there as the kids were able to watch other kids crying while getting their shots.  When it was our turn, the nurse was very quick; she gave the shots to Marcus, Mckayla, Logan, Stuart and lastly Connor.  The kids did relatively well.  Logan and Mckayla both had a short anticipation cry, and Marcus just had a small whimper after the injection.  Connor was a bit scared when I lowered his pants to get ready.  I was rubbing his big thigh with my hand while the nurse got ready, and I guess Connor ended up not noticing the shot when it happened.  No crying!  Logan was slightly mad afterward but Stuart was able to talk him out of it.  All of us returned to our office to re-group after the injections.  To reward the kids for their braveness, they all had some small snacks. 

     After dinner tonight, I went to attend the monthly parent workshop at Logan’s school.  It was a very small group tonight, but it was an interesting topic, Dealing with Children’s behavior.  When I returned home, Stuart was putting the kids in bath, so I was able to take over then.  During the bath, Connor kept pointing to the bandage on his thigh and referred to it as “owie”.  While I was at the school for the hour meeting, the kids had a good time playing dress-up, playing Legos and did some drawing too.
