Outdoor Wednesday

 

 

Today's Harvest
Spaghetti squash just under 4 pounds

Sun tea, yes it is that hot here mid 80's today.

The kids went in and we got them their h1n1 shots.

They have the day off and I have been taking it slow.

The pillow even got to see my sweet cheek, slept until 9 am. that is something for me.

Dove is really well today, bless God in time to make the inoculation appointment in good health.

She really put us such a huge fuss, almost had to call a nurse to help me get her out of the bathroom and the pediatrician's office. You know it was one of the first times I realized she is almost big enough for me not to be able to do anything about it if she refused.

So with the wisdom of lessons learned I gave her the old two choices within my peramiters. Makes her think she has control thus the security is established.

Told her she could come to the room herself or I will have to call a nurse to help me to take her there.

She promptly stopped refusing. I told her I knew she was afraid. Then it dawned on me there was NO reasoning when she is like this and so the old two within came to mind and I went for it.

Meanwhile Dash is across the hall, awaiting his shot, with a bit of grown up and little boy... mom come... look in his sweet little eyes.

Dove is really taking a lot of the efforts at those times and so I just hugged Dove let go and went to Dash. I supported his courage and told him "melted butter" and his little arm relaxed he took a breadth and she did the deed and he was over it.

So Dove was up and fought us...I had to bear hug her standing up and hold her head to one side and kiss on her. The shot was given and then it was like oh! nothing's wrong I'm fine mom.

aaaaa oh o.k. alright.

The nurse and I exchanged smiles and I thanked her. The shot was free and my insurance billed the visit.No co-pay.

Now to get one for me. The doc office said no to adults only kids high risk. Because my kids are high risk I explained to her I think she may want to check again.

Oh another battle , I'll see the doc in the morning for the sot? and for the neuro follow-up.
