Evan had his 4 yr old needles last night. I prepared him so he knew what we where there for. I explained that he will get 2 needles that will hurt but only for a bit. They had Medicine in them that will help his body be strong & make more medicine in case he got sick. He worked out for himself that the needle was to make his scratch better.
When we got there, I felt like I was going to cry every time I thought about how he might react. But in we went & he didn't even say ouch! No tears, no screams. He did pull a sad face with the second one as it was the stingy one & this morning he says that arm is sore. But other then that he coped really well.
I so didn't expect him too!
