We took both boys to the Dr on Wednesday for their vaccinations. Elijah went first and did pretty good. There were a few tears but overall he did great. Then the nurse got ready to give Ezra his shots and Elijah got protective. Through his own tears he made sure to tell the nurse not to hurt his baby brother! What a great big brother! We had to explain to him that the shot was to help him not get sick. Then both boys got stickers. Eli thought it was pretty cool that Baby Ezra got his first sticker!
Elijah does not have to get another vaccination until he is ready for Kindergarten! We decided against the Chicken Pox Vaccine, but he got all the others. We had delayed starting them until he was 2 and now we are completely caught up. Ezra got his first set. We decided that with Eli bringing home germs from school and with the whooping cough that is going around that we would not delay Ezra's as we did with Eli's. Ezra had a fever that night after the shots and was cranky for 2 days, but seems okay now. His next set will be at 4 months. The Dr also told us that we can start solids at 4 months! That is crazy to think of!!
Elijah got a band-aid on his leg where the shot was and when it fell off that night, he told me it was all better now and didn't hurt anymore because the band-aid fell off! I wish they worked that well for me :)
