Comment by Charlene:
I must be VERY VERY Bad! I never say anything. Heck, I walk out of the room and tell Nicole, "the mean ol' nurse will be in, be brave". Just kidding, sort of. (being that I'm a nurse, I leave out the mean ol' part) I do really hate the immunizations. But they are a necessary part of life, imo. I know there is a lot of controversy, and it the decision is always personal. Hope your baby was very brave :)

Yeah, cool band-aids, though I didn't notice the McD's at first. Next time I'm at the drugstore I'm going to buy super-hero band-aids or something. For myself. :-)

For some reason (age?) I couldn't make sense of the photo. At first I thought it was a teeny band-aid on the tip of a finger. Then I thought it was taken as if looking down on your own knee. It finally came together and I realized that was a shirt sleeve shadow at top. Weirdly disorienting, though!

Cool picture. I am getting this real big "showgirls/redlight district" vibe, though that probably wasn't intent. Love the look and feel though. Terrific take on the challenge.

Ha! When I was reading your story - before I got to the part of how it USED to be... I thought, man, in MY day we got jabbed with a big ol needle and my arm used to hurt as much from being held by the nurse as by the actual shot. And if we cried - well, then we were just total sissies.... And then I read your description! Exactly the same.

Awesome bandaid. I would wear that today.

Neat picture, but it's your story that really makes it special. I think I had the same nurses as you when I was younger...

My youngest started screaming before the nurse even got in the room. You could hear him outside the building. He's thirty now, and we still kid him about that. He really put on a show.

McDonald's band-aids. I've seen it all, now.

Comment by karmat:
My kids' nurse is a grandmother and she said that when she tried to give her first grandson his shots, she truly realized what torment the parents are going through. So, she is as good with the parents as she is with the kids. She is so calm and soothing. I hope she never retires. My oldest is starting kindergarten this year too. Of course, I'm homeschooling, so I don't have deal with the "goodbye" part of it, but it is still awe inspiring to know that one of your kids has reached a milestone in growing up.
