He got three shots and one oral vaccine. He did really well, just turned really red and held his breath for about 5 seconds before letting out a very angry scream. He calmed down pretty well afterward, so all in all not as bad as I thought.
The nurse said that recent studies have shown that Tylenol and other pain relievers might lessen the effectiveness of the vaccines so we will hold off unless he starts to get a bit of a fever.
Here is a picture of our big boy headed to the doctor in his cute new hat (we were able to find a larger size in the white puppy size, thanks Chandra) and his car seat carrier.
Will expressed apprehension when we said it was time to go to the doctors, or maybe just a reaction to a face Daddy made before taking William's picture.
Adam has is off days today and tomorrow then my parents are in for a visit this weekend. We will have to see how many smiles Grandpa Mac can get out of William in two days. We still haven't caught them with the camera to prove it, they typically happen at 3, 5 or 6 in the morning for me. I am not in the mood at that time to rush for the camera. It does help soften the fact that I am up at that time with the little guy.
